(70 ILCS 2605/7aa) (from Ch. 42, par. 326aa)
Sec. 7aa. The sanitary district has the power and authority to prevent the
pollution of any waters from which a water supply may be obtained by any
city, town or village within the district. The sanitary district acting
through the executive director has the power to commence an action or
proceeding in the circuit court in and for the county in which the district
is located for the purpose of having the pollution stopped and prevented
either by mandamus or injunction. The court shall specify a time, not
exceeding 20 days after the service of the copy of the petition, in which
the party complained of must answer the petition, and in the meantime, the
party be restrained. In case of default in answer or after answer, the
court shall immediately inquire into the facts and circumstances of the
case and enter an appropriate judgment order in respect to the matters
complained of. An appeal may be taken from the final judgment in the same
manner and with the same effect as appeals are taken from judgments of the
circuit court in other actions for mandamus or injunction.
