§ 18-23. Charge for dishonored checks given to city.  


Latest version.
  • Every person who shall issue to the city a check in purported payment of utility charges, or in payment of any other obligation to the city, shall pay a fee as set forth in the fee schedule if such check is dishonored for payment by the bank upon which the same is drawn. For the purposes of this section charges for water, sewer service, gas and garbage collection shall be construed as "utility charges." If the check is in purported payment of utility charges, and should the user fail to make such dishonored check good and pay the fee as set forth in the fee schedule promptly, the user shall be mailed a notice that utility services involved shall be discontinued in ten (10) days, but that if the user contends that the charges or the fee are improper for any reason, the user has a right to a hearing before the cut-off date as provided by sections 18-51 through 18-61, inclusive.
