Sec. 11-151-5.
If a municipality annexes part, but not all of the territory
of a public
water district, sanitary sewer district, or both, the corporate authorities
of the municipality and of the
district may enter contracts providing for the division and allocation of
duplicate and overlapping powers, functions and duties between the 2
entities and for the use, management, control, purchase, conveyance,
assumption and disposition of the properties, assets, debts, liabilities
and obligations of the district. The corporate authorities of a district
and such a municipality may also enter agreements providing for the
operation by the municipality of the district's utility systems and other
properties or for the transfer, conveyance or sale of those systems and
properties to the municipality. "Systems and properties" includes those of
every kind and character and whether situated within or outside the
municipality. An operating contract made under this Section may not extend
for a period longer than 30 years and must be subject to amendment, renewal
or termination by mutual consent of the contracting parties. No contract
under this Section may contain any provision impairing the obligation of
any existing contract of such a municipality or district.
