65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 11-129-9.

In addition to other projects authorized by this
Division 129, any municipality with a population under 500,000 may
construct or acquire a water-supply system to serve a particular
locality within or without its corporate limits or to extend or improve
an existing water-supply system for the purpose of serving a particular
locality within or without the municipality not theretofore served by
its existing system, and may pay the cost thereof by the issuance and
sale of revenue bonds of the municipality, payable solely from the
revenue derived from the operation of the water-supply system
constructed or acquired for that particular locality, or from the
revenue derived from the operation of the improvements and extensions of
an existing system.

Except insofar as inconsistent with Sections 11-129-9 through
11-129-11, the provisions of Section 11-129-1 through 11-129-8 shall
govern all matters connected with projects under this Section.  In
addition to the requirements of Section 11-129-3, an ordinance for a
project under this Section shall contain a description of the particular
locality to be served by the system, improvement or extension.

Sec. 11-129-10.

After adoption of an ordinance for a project under
Section 11-129-9, the corporate authorities may make and enforce all
needful rules and regulations in connection with the construction,
acquisition, improvement, or extension, and with the management and
maintenance of the project to be constructed or acquired.  The corporate
authorities shall establish rates or charges to each user of the
water-supply system, improvement or extension at a rate which will be
sufficient at all times to pay the principal and interest of any bonds
issued to pay the cost thereof, maintenance, and operation of the
system, improvement, or extension and an adequate depreciation fund
therefor.  Charges or rates shall be established, revised, and
maintained by ordinance and become payable as the corporate authorities
may determine by ordinance.

locality.  The fund shall be used only for the purpose of paying the
cost of operating and maintaining the water-supply system, improvement
or extension, providing an adequate depreciation fund, and paying the
principal and interest on the bonds issued by the municipality under
Section 11-129-9 for the purpose of constructing or acquiring the
system, improvement or extension.
