AI Summary
This bill amends the Sanitary District Act of 1917 to expand the powers of the Bloomington and Normal Water Reclamation District (BNWRD), allowing it to engage in new wastewater-related activities. Specifically, the bill enables the BNWRD to sell, convey, or distribute treated wastewater to private entities located within 50 miles of its boundaries, and also allows the district to accept wastewater for treatment from such private entities. The bill further grants the BNWRD the ability to acquire real property through various means (such as gifts, grants, or purchases) that are necessary to carry out these new powers. The agreement for wastewater treatment or sale cannot exceed 30 years, and the provision explicitly does not apply to private entities located outside of Illinois. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, providing the BNWRD with expanded operational flexibility in managing and trading treated wastewater within a defined geographic region.
