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.

(70 ILCS 2605/26) (from Ch. 42, par. 348)
Sec. 26.
Any city, village or incorporated town located in any such sanitary
district which owns a system of waterworks and procures its supply of water
from a lake or other source which will be saved from sewage pollution by
the construction of the sewage facilities provided by this Act shall furnish
water to any city, village, township, incorporated town or other municipal
corporation within or outside the boundaries of any such sanitary district
in such quantities as may be required to supply consumers within or outside
said territory at no greater price or charge than said city, village or
incorporated town charges and collects of consumers within its limits through
meters for like large quantities; provided, however, that any such city,
village, township, incorporated town or other municipal corporation making
application for the sale of water to it shall be required to build or cause
to be built suitable and sufficient water mains to the corporate limits
of such city, incorporated town or village so owning a system of waterworks
and supplying water as aforesaid to connect with the water mains and receive
the water from such city, incorporated town or village.
However, where such a city, village or incorporated town constructs and
operates waterworks facilities such as supply mains, pumping stations, reservoirs
and other facilities outside of its corporate limits and within 35 miles
of the limits thereof, for the purpose of supplying improved water service
to municipalities, townships and water system authorities which request
such service, such city, village or incorporated town may enter into contracts
with such municipalities, townships and water system authorities at a higher
water rate than the existing metered rate for like consumers within such
city, village or incorporated town to allow such city, village or incorporated
town to obtain a fair return to cover the costs of financing, constructing,
operating and maintaining the said improved facilities, and in the event
that thereafter such rates are not agreed upon by the parties or are not
otherwise provided for by contract, such rates shall be fixed and determined
by the Circuit Court of Cook County upon petition filed therein; provided
that the right of any municipal corporation within or outside the sanitary
district to obtain water from such a city, village or incorporated town
at its corporate limits at the existing metered rate for like consumers
within the corporate limits of such city, village or incorporated town shall
remain unimpaired.
