Become an Authorized Municipality
Become an Authorized Municipality
Article 14 of the WMO allows local municipalities to become authorized to administer aspects of the WMO. Such municipalities are referred to as authorized municipalities. Municipalities interested in authorization must submit a letter of intent to the District. A sample letter of intent is accessible through the weblink below. An executed intergovernmental agreement between the municipality and District will effectuate the municipality’s status as an authorized municipality. If your municipality intends to become an authorized municipality, please submit a letter of intent with all supporting documentation to:
Catherine A. O'Connor
Director of Engineering
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago
100 East Erie Street
Chicago, Illinois 60611
Once the District receives a letter of intent and supporting documentation, an executed intergovernmental agreement will effectuate the municipality’s status as an authorized municipality.
