(A) The town shall notify the account holder by certified mail if a check is not honored by the bank, as soon as reasonably possible. The notice shall set forth the bad check fee as well as the date upon which utility service will be discontinued or has been discontinued as determined below.
(B) An account holder has ten business days after the date the notice of the bad check was issued to tender payment sufficient to cover the amount for which the check was written and the bad check fee.
(C) Payment must be tendered in the form of cash, cashier's check or money order and must be paid to the administrative building of the utility, during normal business hours. Failure to tender said payment within the period described shall result in the immediate termination of utility service. Reconnection of service shall be subject to the provisions set forth above.
(D) If the check was written for payment of utility fees after the designated due date or if written for payment of a deposit, the ten-day period to make full payment to the town to cover the bad check referenced above, shall not apply, and utility service shall be discontinued as soon as reasonably possible upon notice having been received from the bank. No notice shall be required to the account holder if service is terminated under this provision.
(E) The disconnection policy set forth in § 50.06 shall still apply in the event the account holder submits a "bad check" to the town.
(F) Any check not honored by the bank and for which payment has not been made, shall be tendered to the Hancock County Prosecutor's Office for prosecution.
