DESCRIPTION
This act provides that sewer districts shall constitute the sole and continuing authority for the provision of wastewater collection and treatment within the district's corporate boundaries. The act prohibits the encroachment on the boundaries of existing sewer districts, unless there is a written cooperative agreement between the districts. Whenever any part of a territory located in a sewer district is included by annexation within the corporate limits of a municipality, and the sewer district is currently or is capable of providing wastewater collection and treatment services, the district and the municipality shall enter a cooperative agreement to provide wastewater collection and treatment services to the annexed territory. For territories annexed prior to
August 28, 2003, the cooperative agreement may be developed within six months of
August 28, 2003. The cooperative agreements between the municipality and district shall be
filed with the Recorder of Deeds and the County Clerk of the county or counties where the
district is located.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
