If a utility customer pays for service by a check, draft or other order that is returned due to insufficient funds or closed bank accounts, the city will not consider this as payment to the outstanding amount due. Any check, draft or other order that is returned to the customer shall be subject to a service fee for dishonored check in accordance with the provisions of § 166.251, Florida Statutes, as may be amended from time to time. This imposition of a service fee for dishonored check will be in addition to any late payment fee that may be charged to the customer for the delinquent payment of the utility account.
