MWRD-DAMAGES TO PROPERTY

Provides that the district is liable for damages or loss to real estate or personal property caused in whole or in part by the operations of the sanitary district whether the damages or loss are caused by the overflow of the sanitary district's channels, ditches, drains, outlets, or other improvements, or whether the damages or loss result from the district's use, maintenance, construction, or repair of the same or other equipment or facilities. Further provides that an owner or permitted user of real estate may submit a claim for reimbursement rather than bringing action to recover damages. Sets forth the requirements for the claim and damages awarded. Effective immediately.
