Regional water treatment facilities
|
(35 ILCS 200/11-130)
Sec. 11-130.
Legislative findings.
The General Assembly finds that it is
the policy of this State to ensure and encourage the availability of safe
potable water for our cities, villages, towns, and rural residents and that it
has become increasingly difficult and cost prohibitive for smaller cities,
towns, and villages to construct, maintain, or operate, to current standards,
water treatment facilities. It is the further finding of the General Assembly
that regional treatment facilities capable of supplying several cities,
villages, towns, public water districts, public water commissions, and rural
water companies with treated water offer a viable economic solution to this
concern and it should be the policy of the State to encourage the construction
and operation of regional water treatment facilities capable of providing
treated, potable water to cities, villages, towns, public water districts,
public water commissions, and rural water companies, thereby relieving the
burden on those entities and their citizens from constructing and maintaining
their own individual treatment facilities.

Qualifying water treatment facilities
shall be valued for purposes of computing the assessed valuation on the basis

(Source: P.A. 92-278, eff. 1-1-02.)
|
(35 ILCS 200/11-145) Sec. 11-145. Method of valuation for qualifying water treatment facilities. To determine 33 1/3% of the fair cash value of any qualifying water treatment facility in assessing the facility, the Department shall take into consideration the probable net value that could be realized by the owner if the facility were removed and sold at a fair, voluntary sale, giving due account to the expense of removal, site restoration, and transportation. The net value shall be considered to be 33 1/3% of fair cash value. The valuation under this Section applies only to the qualifying water treatment facility itself and not to the land on which the facility is located. (Source: P.A. 103-631, eff. 7-1-24.) |
