No unauthorized person shall maliciously, willfully or negligently
break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface or tamper with any structure,

A.
Any person connected to the sewerage system found to be violating
a provision of this chapter shall be served by the Village with a

reasonable time for the satisfactory correction thereof. The offender
shall, within the period of time stated in such notice, permanently
cease all violations.
B.
Any licensed disposer discharging to the wastewater treatment facility
or to a public sewer found to be violating a provision of this chapter
or of any conditions of the Village's approval for septage disposal
may have its approval immediately revoked. This revocation shall be
done in writing and state the reason for revoking the septage disposal
approval.
Any person found to be responsible for accidentally allowing
a deleterious discharge into the sewer system which causes damage
to the treatment facility and/or receiving body of water shall, in
addition to a fine, pay the amount to cover damages, both values to
be established by the Village.
Any person, partnership or corporation, or any officer, agent or employee thereof, who shall continue any violation beyond the aforesaid notice time limit provided, shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to the penalty found in § 1-4 of the Code of the Village of Tigerton, together with the costs of prosecution. In default of payment of such forfeiture and costs, said violator shall be imprisoned in the County Jail for a period not to exceed five days. Each day in which any violation is continued beyond the aforesaid notice time limit shall be deemed a separate offense.
Any person violating any provision of this chapter shall become
liable to the Village for any expense, loss or damage occasioned by

of any sewer pipe damaged in any manner by any person by the performance
of any work under his control or by any negligent acts.
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter or rules or regulation of the Village or who shall connect a service pipe or discharge without first having obtained a permit therefor, or who shall violate any provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes, Wisconsin Administrative Code, or any other materials which are incorporated by reference, shall upon conviction be subject to a forfeiture as provided in § 1-4 and the costs of prosecution. This, however, shall not bar the Village from enforcing the connection duties set out in this chapter.
