drainage district may enter into an implementing agreement to | ||||
provide for the automatic detachment of land from the drainage | ||||
district when the land is annexed to the municipality. An | ||||
implementing agreement shall not be required to comply with the | ||||
provisions of Sections 4-19 through 4-24 of the Illinois | ||||
Drainage Code (70 ILCS 605/4-19 through 605/4-24) and may | ||||

Upon the filing of a certificate, executed by a drainage | ||||
district in compliance with Section 4-11 of the Illinois | ||||
Drainage Code (70 ILCS 605/4-11) and by an annexing | ||||
municipality, the land described in the certificate shall be | ||||
detached from the drainage district and annexed to the annexing | ||||
municipality as of the date of filing. The certificate shall be | ||||
filed with the drainage district clerk and the county clerk | ||||
where the land is located. The legal effect of the filing of a | ||||
certificate shall be the same as a court order entered pursuant | ||||
to Section 8-20 of the Illinois Drainage Code (70 ILCS | ||||
605/8-20). |
