Sec. 11-140-1.
In every municipality with a population of 100,000 or less
which has a sewage system but has no adequate outlet therefor, or any
proper disposition of the sewage thereof, without constructing an outlet
sewer the terminus of which will be outside the corporate limits of the
municipality, the corporate authorities thereof may (1) construct an outlet
sewer, wholly without, or partially within and partially without the
corporate limits of the municipality into which the sewers throughout the
municipality are to empty, and through which the sewers are to discharge
their sewage for proper disposition and sanitary benefits, (2) construct
reservoirs, erect pumping works, machinery, and plants for the treatment of
the sewage within or without the corporate limits of the municipality, (3)
acquire the necessary land and machinery for these purposes, and (4)
otherwise provide for discharge of the municipality's sewage into channels
that will promote the health and improve the sanitary condition of and
accomplish the purpose of an outlet sewer for the municipality. The cost of
exercising the powers conferred by this section shall be borne by special
assessment or by special taxation upon the property in those portions of
the municipality the sewers in which are ultimately to find their outlet
through the outlet sewer so constructed.
