Checks
presented as payment for utility charges
shall be presented to the bank only one (1)
time for payment. If returned unpaid
by the bank for any reason, Tahlequah Public
Works shall notify the customer by a
customary written notice, unless customer is
past due, stating the amount
of the insufficient check and the deadline
for repayment to avoid suspension of
services. If customer is past due and
a check is returned insufficient, services
will be suspended without notice.
Only
cash, cashiers check, or money order will be
accepted at the time you pick up the check.
In the
event a customer has two (2) returned
checks in a twelve (12) month period,
Tahlequah Public Works will notify the
customer that further personal checks will
not be accepted for the next twelve (12)
month period.
Any customer paying an account that is on
suspension notice with a returned check from
any bank shall have utility service
suspended immediately without further
notice.
There will be a return check fee of $25.00
on any returned check because of
insufficient funds, stop payment or any
other related reason that causes the check
not to clear the bank. At the time
of this payment please notify the office clerk that payment is for a returned
check. Failure to receive a notice
will not exempt a customer from service
suspension.
If a
customer writes a check for meter deposits
on a past due utility service and the check
is returned to T.P.W.A. unpaid, service
shall be suspended without further notice.
