Water Bill Payment Plan:
Due Date Plan – Payments will be automatically deducted on the scheduled due dates on your Water Bills.
Supplementary Taxes for New Homes and Buildings:
Supplementary bill payments will NOT be withdrawn from your bank account based on your chosen payment plan. You MUST pay the Supplementary Taxes separately prior to the due dates. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of the PAD plan.
Returned Payments
If a pre-authorized payment is dishonoured by your bank for any reason, a service fee for the dishonoured payment will be applied to your account and you will be removed from the Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Plan. Once the account is paid in full, you can re-apply to the Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Plan by submitting a new Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Agreement.
NOTE: All PAD applications must be submitted with a "VOID" cheque.
