Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(525 ILCS 45/5) (from Ch. 5, par. 1605)

Sec. 5. Water Conflict Resolution.

In the event that a land occupier or person
proposes  to  develop  a  new  point  of  withdrawal,  and
  the  new  point  is a high-capacity well,  the  land  occupier  or  person  shall  notify
the  District before construction of the well begins.   The  District
shall  in  turn  notify  other  local
units  of  government  with  water  systems  who  may  be  impacted  by
the  proposed  withdrawal.   The  District  shall  then  review  with
the  assistance  of  the  Illinois  State  Water  Survey  and the State
Geological Survey  the  proposed
point  of  withdrawal's  effect  upon  other  users  of  the  water.
The review shall be completed within 30 days of receipt of the notice.
The  findings  of  such  reviews  shall  be  made  public.
