(70 ILCS 2305/21) (from Ch. 42, par. 296.1)
Sec. 21.
The board of trustees has the power to build and construct and to
defray the cost and expenses of the construction of drains, sewers, or
laterals, or drains and sewers and laterals and other necessary adjuncts
thereto, including pumps and pumping stations, made by it in the execution
or in furtherance of the powers heretofore granted to the sanitary district
by special assessment or by general taxation or partly by special
assessment and partly by general taxation, as they shall by ordinance
prescribe. It shall constitute no objection to any special assessment that
the improvement for which the same is levied is partly outside the limits
of such sanitary district, but no special assessment shall be made upon
property situated outside of such sanitary district, and in no case shall
any property be assessed more than it will be benefited by the improvement
for which the assessment is levied. The procedure in making improvements by
special assessment shall be the same as nearly as may be as is prescribed
in Divisions 1 and 2 of Article 9 and Division 87 of Article 11 of the
"Illinois Municipal Code", approved May 29, 1961, as heretofore or
hereafter amended. The functions and duties of the "City Council", the
"Council", the "Board of Trustees" and the "Board of Local Improvements"
under said Code shall be assumed and discharged by the board of trustees of
the sanitary district; and the duties of the officers designated in said
Divisions of the Illinois Municipal Code as mayor of the city or president
of the village or incorporated town or president of the Board of Local
Improvements, shall be assumed and discharged by the President of the board
of trustees of the sanitary district. Likewise, the duties of other
municipal officers designated in said Code shall be performed by similar
officers of the sanitary district.
