SECTION VI
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FUND
Stormwater Management is organized with all revenues and expenditures accounted for in a separate fund. The District
assumed responsibility for Stormwater Management following the passage of Public Act 093-1049 in November 2004.
This law gives the District responsibility for stormwater management for all Cook County, including areas that currently
lie outside the District's boundaries.
The District has established seven watershed planning councils. The purpose of the watershed planning councils is to
advise the District on the development and implementation of the countywide stormwater management plan, representing
concerns of local governments. Municipal leagues are responsible for coordinating activities of the watershed planning
councils.
