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.
