Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau

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.

Division 5. Regional wastewater facilities
(Source: P.A. 103-631, eff. 7-1-24.)

    (35 ILCS 200/11-175)
    Sec. 11-175. Legislative findings. The General Assembly finds that it is the policy of the State to ensure and encourage the availability of means for the safe collection, treatment, and disposal of domestic, commercial, and industrial sewage and waste 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, wastewater facilities. The General Assembly further finds that regional facilities capable of serving several cities, villages, towns, municipal joint sewage treatment agencies, municipal sewer commissions, sanitary districts, and rural wastewater companies offer a viable economic solution to this concern. For these reasons, the General Assembly declares it to be the policy of the State to encourage the construction and operation of regional wastewater facilities capable of providing for the safe collection, treatment, and disposal of domestic, commercial, and industrial sewage and waste for cities, villages, towns, municipal joint sewage treatment agencies, municipal sewer commissions, sanitary districts, and rural wastewater companies thereby relieving the burden on those entities and their citizens from constructing and maintaining their own individual wastewater facilities.

    Sec. 11-185. Valuation of qualifying wastewater facilities. For purposes of computing the assessed valuation, qualifying wastewater facilities shall be valued at 33 1/3% of the fair cash value of the facility. To determine 33 1/3% of the fair cash value of a qualifying wastewater 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 expenses incurred for removal, site restoration, and transportation. The valuation under this Section applies only to the qualifying wastewater facility itself and not to the land on which the facility is located.
