Notwithstanding another provision of law, a municipality that utilizes the definition of 'contiguous' as provided pursuant to Section 5-3-305 to annex property that is adjacent to a special purpose district, but not the special purpose district itself, shall provide municipal services to the special purpose district at the same rate that individuals and entities within the municipality are charged for these services."
