Unfortunately, many customers that were scheduled for interruption or actually had their service interrupted due to non-payment paid their balance to prevent interruption or restore service with checks that were returned by the bank for insufficient funds. This caused the District additional costs associated with collecting those funds. The Districts policies must be applied equally to all rate payers. Since implementing the policy of not accepting checks after the payment due date and time, the number of checks returned by the bank has decreased.
