NSF CHECK POLICY
East Feliciana Rural Water System is implementing a change in the company's
policy regarding the handling of "NSF" checks. The new policy
effective May 1, 2007 will be as follows:
If a "NSF" check is received as payment on an account subject
to disconnect after the 15th of the month, that service will be automatically
disconnected when cut-off is run. Added to the cost of the "NSF" check
will be an $25 "NSF" charge, as well as, a $50 reconnect fee,
and a $75 deposit if applicable plus any balance remaining due on the
account.
If a "NSF" check is received as payment on account in good
standing a certified letter will be mailed. The certified letter will
request remittance by money order within ten days of receipt of the certified
letter for the "NSF" check plus a $25 "NSF" charge.
If the "NSF" check is not cleared after the ten day grace period
the customer's service will be subject to disconnect without further
notice, and a $50 reconnect fee, and a $75 deposit if applicable will
be added to the balance due on the "NSF" check .
All "NSF" checks and applicable fees must be paid by MONEY
ORDER at our office at 9923 Battle Road, Ethel, Louisiana,70730. The
entire balance due must be paid in full in order to continue service
or reinstate disconnected service. None of the applicable fees may be
added to the following month's billing
East Feliciana Rural Water System will permanently disconnect and refuse
service to any individual in which four (4) "NSF" checks are
received as payment on account within a twelve (12) month period.
This policy was adopted by the Board of Directors for East Feliciana
Rural Water System on April 19, 2007.
