and charge the Village for the difference (between the original charge and the
recalculated connection charge). In the event the Racine Utility charges the Village for
any recalculated connection charges, such costs constitute an additional connection

A bill for recalculated connection charges shall become due and payable upon receipt.
Such recalculated connection charges levied by the Village against the property
owner/occupant in accordance with this chapter shall be a debt due to the Village and
shall be a lien upon the property. If not paid within 60 days after it shall be due, it shall
be deemed delinquent and may be placed on the current or next tax roll for collection and
settlement under Chapter 74 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Any such sewer charge placed
onto the tax roll shall be assessed an additional 10% penalty. Change of ownership or
occupancy of premises found delinquent shall not be cause for reducing or eliminating
these penalties.
