(65 ILCS 5/11-136-6) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-136-6)
Sec. 11-136-6. Whenever such commission shall pass an ordinance for the
construction or acquisition of any waterworks properties or sewer
properties or improvements or extensions or mains, pumping stations,
reservoirs or other appurtenances thereto, which such commission is
authorized to make, the making of which will require that private property
be taken or damaged, such commission may cause compensation therefor to be
ascertained and may condemn and acquire possession thereof in the same
manner as nearly as may be, as provided for the
exercise of the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act. However, proceedings to ascertain the
compensation to be paid for taking or damaging private property shall in
all cases be instituted in the county where the property sought to be taken
or damaged is situated.
