(70 ILCS 2805/24) (from Ch. 42, par. 435)
Sec. 24. Whenever the board of trustees of any sanitary district shall pass
an ordinance for the making of any improvement which such district is
authorized to make, the making of which will require that private property
should be taken or damaged, such district may cause compensation therefor
to be ascertained, and may condemn and acquire possession thereof in the
same manner as nearly as may be as is provided for the exercise of the right
of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act: Provided, however, that proceedings
to ascertain the compensation to be paid for taking or damaging private
property shall in all cases be instituted in the county where the property
sought to be taken or damaged is situated: And, provided, that all damages
to property whether determined by agreement or by final judgment of court
shall be paid, prior to the payment of any other debt or obligation.
