3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
6 changing Section 11-125-2 as follows:
7 (65 ILCS 5/11-125-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-125-2)
8 Sec. 11-125-2. For the purpose of establishing or
9 supplying waterworks and to purchase, extend, improve and
10 operate waterworks, each city or village may go beyond its
11 corporate limits and acquire and hold property by purchase or
12 otherwise, and also may take and condemn all necessary
13 property therefor, in the manner provided for the taking or
14 damaging of private property for public uses, including any
15 land now used for highway purposes in or near any basin
16 proposed to be flooded by the construction, extension or
17 improvement of any lake by any city or village of this state,
18 for water supply purposes, provided the highway is capable of
19 being rerouted, raised or otherwise revised and maintained in
20 use and that the city or village requiring such
21 reconstruction shall either perform the necessary
22 reconstruction work or pay the full cost thereof to provide a
23 highway of equal value and usefulness to that existing before
24 such work is required, or provided the highway has been
25 vacated by order of the highway authorities having a
26 jurisdiction over said highway. The jurisdiction of the city
27 or village to prevent or punish any pollution or injury to
28 the stream or source of water, or to waterworks, extends 20
29 miles beyond its corporate limits, or so far as the
30 waterworks may extend.

2 maintain, alter and extend its water mains as a proper use of
3 highways along, upon, under and across any highway, street,
4 alley or public ground in the State, but so as not to
5 inconvenience the public use thereof, and the right and
6 authority are hereby granted to any such city or village to
7 construct, maintain and operate any conduit or conduits,
8 water pipe or pipes, wholly or partially buried or otherwise
9 in, upon and along any of the lands owned by said State under

11 permission and authority hereby granted shall be subject to
12 all public rights of commerce and navigation and the
13 authority of the United States in behalf of such public
14 rights, and also to the laws of the State of Illinois to
15 regulate and control the same.
