Section 70 ILCS 2805/32m - Methods for paying for waterworks-Bonds, taxes, special assessments

Whenever the trustees of a district have been authorized by the affirmative vote of the legal voters of the district to acquire by purchase or construction and thereafter operate, improve or extend waterworks, as herein provided by the provisions of this Act, the cost of the purchase or construction of waterworks and the cost of making further improvements and extensions thereto may be paid from the proceeds to be received from the sale of bonds which may be issued by the district which are payable from taxes, unlimited as to rate or amount, to be extended against all taxable property within the district and as herein provided for in Section 11 of this Act, from the proceeds to be received from the sale of revenue bonds which shall not constitute an indebtedness of the district and shall be payable solely and only from the revenues to be derived from the operation of the waterworks of the district and from assessments to be levied against property which will be benefited, all as may be determined by the board of trustees and such board of trustees may elect to use any or all or any combination of the methods above enumerated in financing the cost thereof. If revenue bonds are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Act for the purpose of paying the cost of improving or extending waterworks, the procedure for the issuance thereof and the rights, duties, powers and authority of the board of trustees of the district shall be the same as is provided in this Act for the issuance of revenue bonds for the purchase or construction of waterworks by a sanitary district. It shall constitute no objection to any special assessment that the improvement for which the same is levied is situated partly outside the limits of such sanitary district but no special assessment shall be made upon property situated outside of such sanitary district and in no case shall any property be assessed more than it will be benefited by the improvement for which the assessment is levied or more than its proportionate share of the cost of such improvement. The proceedings for making, levying, collecting and enforcing of any special assessment levied hereunder, the letting of contracts, performance of the work and all other matters pertaining to the construction and making of the improvement shall be the same as nearly as may be as is prescribed in Division 2 of Article 9 of the Illinois Municipal Code, approved May 29, 1961, as heretofore and hereafter amended. Whenever in said Division 2 the word "city council" or the words "board of local improvements" are used the same shall apply to the board of trustees constituted by this Act, and the word "mayor" or "president of the board of local improvement" shall apply to the president of the board of trustees constituted by this Act, and the words applying to the city or its officers in that Article shall be held to apply to the sanitary district authorized to be organized under the provisions of this Act and its officers.
