Change made
in 'checks payable'
PUTNAM — Starting today, the Town of Putnam’s Revenue Collector will no longer be able to cash checks made out to “Putnam WPCA”.    I
The Town began collecting for the Water Pollution Control Authority in July 2018, and the WPCA has mailed bills out since July requesting on them that the checks should be made payable to the “Town of Putnam.”
The town’s bank will no longer take checks made out to Putnam WPCA. Revenue Collector Melissa Alden said all checks processed by the Town for the WPCA must now be made out only to the “Town of Putnam”.
The Putnam Collector’s office will be returning checks made out incorrectly to taxpayers asking that they reissue a check payable to the “Town of Putnam.”  The returned check will include a form explaining the problem on the check and asking that the new check be returned with the included form to help the office apply the payment correctly.
