Whoever shall tender in payment of any bill or bills issued by the Cincinnati water
works a check or other commercial paper which fails to clear through the banks and
is returned to the water works shall be assessed a service charge, the amount to be
determined by the director of water works, based on the costs to the city of processing
and collecting on such dishonored instrument, for each time such check or instrument
is returned. This charge shall be chargeable against the premises served, if the maker
of the check or instrument maintains water service connections, in the same manner
as charges for water. Assessment of this service charge shall not relieve a maker
of any criminal or civil liability provided by law.
