C. The district may bring suit in superior court in the county in which the district member is located against any district member to collect any delinquent replenishment tax or fee.

Before applying to the court for an order of attachment or the appointment of a receiver, the district shall mail notice to the district member stating the amount of the delinquency and the reason and remedy or remedies to be sought by the district. The district shall recover its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, court costs and costs incurred in executing the attachment or for the receiver. In addition to allowing recovery of costs to the district as allowed by law, the court may fix and allow as part of the judgment interest and penalties as provided in subsections A and B of this section. The court may also assess a civil penalty in an amount of not more than ten thousand dollars per day that the assessments or fees are delinquent.
