In the event that any payment tendered by a check or other written instrument on any account owing to this Borough is returned for insufficient funds, there is hereby authorized the imposition of a service charge to be added to that account owing to the Borough in the sum of $20 per check or other written instrument so returned, and the principal of such account shall be increased accordingly.
