Illinois Compiled Statutes
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.

65 ILCS 5/11-110-3
(65 ILCS 5/11-110-3) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-110-3)
Sec. 11-110-3.
Whenever, in the judgment of the corporate authorities of a
city or village, it becomes necessary or advantageous for the proper
construction of improvements specified in Section 11-110-1 to enlarge,
construct, or improve a natural or artificial drain outside the corporate
limits of the city or village to obtain a proper outlet, the corporate
authorities have the power to acquire the right of way therefor under the
provisions of the statutes relating to the exercise of the right of eminent
domain. Upon the establishment of this improvement, by the confirmation of
the assessment therefor, the corporate authorities have the power to
contract with all persons owning or interested in property or drains,
outside the corporate limits of the city or village, who will be benefited
by the improvement, for payment to the city or village of such an amount as
the improvement will benefit those persons. In case of a failure to agree
on the amount to be paid for these benefits the corporate authorities of
the city or village have the power to sue for and recover the amount in a
civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction in this state. The
amount recovered or realized by such an agreement or proceeding shall
become a part of the money raised to pay for the improvement, and may be
refunded in accordance with the provisions of Section 9-2-74.

65 ILCS 5/11-111-1
(65 ILCS 5/11-111-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-111-1)
Sec. 11-111-1.
Every city or village, whether incorporated under the
general law or under a special charter, whose site is wholly or partially
subject to overflow and wholly or partially surrounded by levees, dykes, or
embankments to prevent overflow: (1) may divide the municipality, or any
part thereof, into improvement districts, (2) may fix the grade of the
streets, avenues, alleys, or public grounds within the improvement
districts, at any height deemed necessary to give a surface drainage from
each improvement district to the river or rivers which cause the overflow,
and (3) may require low lots, blocks, or parts thereof, within an
improvement district to be filled in such manner as to prevent water from
standing thereon and thus to prevent them from becoming a nuisance or
injurious to the public health, in the judgment of the corporate
authorities of the municipality.
The work authorized to be done by Sections 11-111-1 through 11-111-7
shall be done by special assessment or special taxation of contiguous
property. Every city or village exercising the power granted by these
sections has the same power in relation to special assessments or special
taxation as is granted to any city, village, or drainage or improvement
district in this state.
