(70 ILCS 3405/18) (from Ch. 42, par. 465)
Sec. 18.
In case any surface water protection district organized hereunder
is coterminous with or includes within its corporate limits any
pre-existing city, village or incorporated town authorized to provide
protection from surface water damage and to regulate the prevention and
control of surface water within such city, village or incorporated town and
to levy taxes for any such purposes, then such city, village or
incorporated town shall, within one year after it is included within the
district, cease to exercise any such powers as necessarily conflict with
the powers to be exercised by such district in respect to such surface
water protection and regulation within the surface water protection
district. Such city, village or incorporated town shall not thereafter own,
maintain, manage, control or have an interest in any surface water
protection facilities located within the corporate limits of the surface
water protection district, except curbs and gutters in streets and except
as otherwise provided in this Act. Where in any case any pre-existing
city, village or incorporated town owns and is in fact operating and
maintaining surface water protection facilities located within the
corporate limits of a surface water protection district organized under
this Act, such city, village or incorporated town shall be paid and
reimbursed for the reasonable value of any such existing facilities in the
manner provided for by this Act. The terms of payment shall provide for
reimbursement in full within not less than twenty years from the date of
such agreement.
