A check is considered non-sufficient funds/returned when the check has been returned from the bank for non-sufficient funds. When a non-sufficient funds/returned check is posted on the account, the account is scheduled for shut-off without further notice. 

Guidelines for Bad Checks: 

1.      A $25.00 non-sufficient funds/returned fee is added to the account.

2.      The account is flagged with a non-sufficient funds/returned date and remains on the account for twelve months (12). 

3.      If the customer submits two non-sufficient funds/returned checks within a year, the account will change to a “cash only” account until the oldest date drops from the system.

4.   The water is Shut-off. A Shut-Off Notice will not be mailed. The City of Dayton will not notify the customer of the non-sufficient funds/returned check. The customer will be notified by their banking institution of the non-sufficient funds/returned item.
