Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Public Water District Act is amended by
changing Section 26 as follows:
(70 ILCS 3705/26) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 212.1)
Sec. 26. Annexation. Any territory which is contiguous to
a public water district organized under this Act and which is
not included in any public water district may be annexed to
such contiguous public water district in the manner provided
by this Section.
A petition, signed by two-thirds of the legal voters
residing in the territory sought to be annexed, or if there
are no legal voters in the territory, a majority of the
owners of record of the land in the territory, and addressed
to the circuit court of the county in which the public water
district to which annexation is sought was organized,
requesting that the territory described in the petition be
annexed to such public water district, may be filed with the
clerk of such court. The clerk of such court shall thereupon
present such petition to the court which shall set a time,
place and date for a hearing thereon, which date shall be not
less than 20 nor more than 45 days after the date the
petition was filed. The court shall give notice of the time,
place and date of the hearing by publication in one or more
newspapers published in the district, and if there is no such
newspaper, in one or more newspapers published in the county
and having a general circulation within the public water
district and within the territory sought to be annexed
thereto, which publication shall be made at least 15 days
prior to the date set for the hearing.
