IL SB1513

Allows eminent domain actions by municipalities to acquire water systems to be submitted as a referendum for voters residing in the affected water system's service area

Establishes petition procedures for referendums: water systems within a single municipality follow Section 28-6 of the Election Code, while multi-municipality systems follow Section 28-7

Declares municipal acquisition of water systems by eminent domain a "special use" under the Eminent Domain Act, affecting how compensation is calculated

Sets acquisition price as the original purchase price paid by the private entity when it acquired the system from the municipality, plus actual improvement costs, adjusted for inflation
