(a) When a statement is presented for payment with a remittance, the Assistant Fiscal Officer’s stamp will constitute an official receipt. When a utility bill is paid by mail or placed in a depository, a receipt will not be issued unless the entire statement and a self-addressed stamped envelope accompany the remittance. All receipts are void if a check used for payment fails to clear through the banks.
(b) All monies received by the Utility Billing System for water, sewer, and refuse bills will be credited to delinquent balances first and the remainder to current charges of the appropriate accounts in the following manner:
(1) The refuse bill will be credited in its entirety if there are sufficient monies to pay it in full.
(2) Any balance which is not great enough to cover total remaining water and sewer charges will be split and applied equally to water and sewer.
(3) If the amount owed of either water or sewer is less than the amount split then the unused portion will be applied to the remaining balance of the other account.
