Aims Industrial Services, LLC v. City of Rock Falls

This case presents question as to whether trial court properly denied petitioner-City’s request for injunctive relief, where City alleged that defendant-property owner failed to comply with certain ordinances that required that property owner connect its private sewer system to City’s system. Appellate Court., in finding that City was entitled to injunctive relief, found that: (1) trial court improperly considered potential cost of connection and absence of pre-existing connection when determining whether any connection was available to defendant; and (2) trial court improperly balanced equities when denying City’s request for injunctive relief. Appellate Court further noted that City’s request for injunctive relief was warranted, since City needed only to show that ordinance had been violated, and that ordinance allowed for injunctive relief
