The MWRD Retirement Fund (MWRDRF) is a defined benefit, single employer benefit plan that was established in 1931 by an act of the Illinois General Assembly under Article 13 of the Illinois Pension code [40 ILCS 5/13-101 et seq.] to provide disability and retirement benefits to qualified employees of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC). We pay earned benefits to our members, which are funded by a combination of member contributions, taxes levied by the MWRDGC, and investment earnings from Fund reserves. MWRDRF is a component unit of the MWRDGC, and as such, is included in the MWRDGC's financial statements as a pension trust fund.
