AGAINST THE RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES ON DECEMBER 31, 1975,
ARE RATIFIED, CONFIRMED, AND DETERMINED TO BE A
REASONABLE CHARGE AND ASSESSMENT. THE BENEFIT CHARGES
AND ASSESSMENTS AS HAD BEEN ORIGINALLY LEVIED OR
SUBSEQUENTLY LEVIED BY THE COMMISSION ARE A LIEN UPON THE
PROPERTIES AGAINST WHICH THEY WERE CHARGED BY THE
COMMISSION AND ENFORCEABLE AS A LIEN UNDER THE PROVISIONS
OF THE LAW RELATING THERETO AT THE TIME THEY WERE IN
DEFAULT. THE BENEFIT CHARGE AND ASSESSMENT LEVIED MAY
NOT BE INCREASED NOR MAY ANY ADDITIONAL BENEFIT CHARGE
AND ASSESSMENT BE LEVIED AGAINST THE PROPERTY UPON WHICH
THERE HAD BEEN LEVIED A BENEFIT CHARGE AND ASSESSMENT AS

ERROR, INADVERTENCE OR OVERSIGHT OR BY REASON OF ANY
JUDGMENT OR DECREE ANY PROPERTY SUBJECT TO A BENEFIT
CHARGE AND ASSESSMENT UNDER THIS SUBTITLE HAS NOT HAD
THEM LEVIED AGAINST IT OR WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN LEVIED BY
AN ERRONEOUS DESCRIPTION, OR IN THE WRONG NAME, OR WHERE
SERVICE UPON THE OWNER HAS NOT BEEN HAD OR WHERE THEY
HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE BY A JUDGMENT OR DECREE, THE
COMMISSION, UPON THE DISCOVERY OF THE ERROR,
INADVERTENCE, OVERSIGHT OR WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME AFTER
THE RENDITION OF THE JUDGMENT OR DECREE, MAY LEVY THE
BENEFIT CHARGE AND ASSESSMENT AT THE RATE AND IN THE
CLASSIFICATION TO WHICH THE PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY
ENTITLED OR WHICH MAY BE PRESCRIBED BY THE COURT AND ANY
INCREASE APPLIED TO THE PROJECT OF WHICH IT FORMED A
PART. THE BENEFIT CHARGE AND ASSESSMENT SHALL RUN FOR
THE PERIOD OF YEARS FOR WHICH IT WOULD HAVE RUN IF LEVIED
AT THE PROPER TIME OR IN THE PROPER MANNER. THIS SECTION

PREVIOUSLY BY THE COMMISSION, OR TO ANY JUDGMENT OR
DECREE RENDERED PREVIOUSLY. HOWEVER, APPROPRIATE
ADJUSTMENTS FOR ANY PAYMENTS SHALL BE MADE ON THE BENEFIT
CHARGE AND ASSESSMENTS IN RESPECT TO THAT PROPERTY.
