Privacy Policy
Effective Date: [September 16, 2026]
The Corinth Water District ("District," "we," "us," or "our") operates this website (corinthwaterdistrictil.gov) to provide information about our water utility services to the residents and customers we serve. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
Information you provide directly. If you contact us through a form on this site, download and submit a form, sign up for notifications, or otherwise communicate with us, we may collect your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, account or service address, and the content of your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our server may automatically log certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. We use this information for site security, troubleshooting, and to understand how the site is used.
Online bill payment. Online bill payment on this site is provided through CourtMoney, an independent third-party payment processor. When you choose to pay your bill online, you leave this website and are directed to CourtMoney's platform. The District does not collect, process, or store your payment card or bank account information — that information is collected and handled directly by CourtMoney under its own privacy policy and terms, which we encourage you to review before making a payment.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
respond to your inquiries and service requests; process and administer water service accounts; send you service-related notices (such as boil orders or outage notifications) if you have requested them; maintain and improve this website; and comply with our legal and recordkeeping obligations as a public water utility.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic site functionality and to understand general site traffic patterns. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; however, some parts of the site may not function properly if you do so. This site does not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals.
4. Public Records / FOIA
The Corinth Water District is a public body under Illinois law. Information you submit to the District — including through this website — may constitute a public record and may be subject to disclosure under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140/1 et seq.), subject to any applicable exemptions.
5. Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to third-party websites, including our online bill payment provider, CourtMoney, and other government or community resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
6. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information submitted through this website. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of this website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
