The
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a state statute (5 ILCS 140) that provides for an easy-to-use method for the public to gain access to government records. Any person who wishes to inspect and/or obtain copies of public records from the Metro East Sanitary District may submit a FOIA request. However, since many public records are already available on the District's website, it may be unnecessary for you to file a FOIA request.
Online requests for records may be submitted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by clicking the Submit a FOIA Request button on this page. The direct email address is
foia@mesdonline.org
For additional information regarding FOIA, see the
Illinois Freedom of Information Act and the
Illinois Attorney General's Office website.
