(70 ILCS 2405/7.7) (from Ch. 42, par. 306.7)
Sec. 7.7.
If one or more persons pay for building a sewer to be
dedicated to the sanitary district as a public sewer, and if the sewer
will, in the opinion of the board of trustees, be used for the benefit of
property whose owners did not contribute to the cost of the sewer's
construction, the board of trustees may provide for reimbursement of some
or all of the expenses of the persons who paid for the sewer as provided in
this Section. The board of trustees may, by contract, agree to reimburse
the persons who paid for the sewer, in whole or in part, for a portion of
their costs. The reimbursement shall be made from fees collected from
owners of property who did not contribute to the cost of the sewer when it
was built. The contract shall describe the property that, in the opinion
of the board of trustees, may reasonably be expected to benefit from the
sewer and shall specify the amount or proportion of the cost of the sewer
that is to be incurred primarily for the benefit of that property. The
contract shall provide that the sanitary district shall collect the fees
charged to owners of property not contributing to the cost of the sewer at
any time before the connection to the sewer by the respective properties of
each owner. The contract may provide for the payment of a reasonable
amount of interest or other charge on the amount expended in completing the
sewer, with interest to be calculated from and after the date of completion
of the sewer.
