(65 ILCS 5/11-130-7) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-130-7)
Sec. 11-130-7.
There is hereby created a statutory mortgage lien upon the
waterworks so purchased or constructed from the proceeds of the bonds
authorized to be issued under this Division 130. This lien exists in favor
of the holder of each of the bonds, and in favor of the holder of each of
the coupons attached to the bonds. The waterworks shall remain subject to
this statutory mortgage lien until the principal and interest of the bonds
are paid in full. Any holder of bonds issued under this Division 130, or of
any coupons representing interest accrued thereon, may, in a civil action,
enforce the statutory mortgage lien hereby created, and may compel the performance
of the duties of the officials of
the issuing municipality set forth in this Division 130.
If there is a default in the payment of the principal of and/or interest
upon any of these bonds, the circuit court
in any proper action
may appoint a receiver to administer the waterworks on behalf of the
municipality with power to charge and collect rates sufficient to provide
for the payment of the bonds and interest thereon, and for the payment of
the operating expenses and with power to apply the revenue in conformity
with this Division 130 and the ordinance providing for the issuance of the
bonds.
