2016 Pre-Authorized Payment of Water, Sewer & Solid Waste Utility Accounts

Try the Pre-Authorized Payment Plan for your bi-monthly utility bill. This plan is convenient and avoids late payment fees. For those already on the pre-authorized payment plan, please note your bi-monthly payment amount will automatically increase to reflect the 2016 utility rates.

The bi-monthly payments are made through your bank by pre-authorized debits on the first day of every second month commencing February 1, 2016.

Application forms are available at the City Hall Finance Department. For further information on this plan, call City Hall at (250) 426-4211.
