(70 ILCS 605/2-2) (from Ch. 42, par. 2-2)
Sec. 2-2.
Extension
of covered drain through land of others.
When it is necessary for the owner of land which may be drained by a
covered drain to extend such drain through the land of others in the
general course of natural drainage in order to obtain a proper outlet and
the owner of, or other party interested in, the land through which such
extension is necessary refuses to consent to the extension of the drain
through his land, the person desiring to construct the drain may file suit
in the circuit court in the county in which such land lies against the
owner or other party so refusing, and summons shall issue in the same form
and shall be returnable in the same manner as other summons in civil
actions, and proceedings shall be had thereon as in other civil actions in
circuit courts.
