Paying your bill through our Automatic Payment Plan is just like sending a cheque, without the bother. Most of all. Automatic Payment is simple! Just return the attached application form, along with a blank cheque marked "void" from the account which you wish to use for payment.

How does Automatic Payment Work?

Paying your bill through our Automatic Payment Plan is just like sending us a cheque only simpler. We present your authorization to your financial institution for you automatically, and the amount due is deducted on the date indicated on your statement.

Choose the Plan that's right for you!

The Budget Payment Plan - (Available to Standard Supply Customers only)

This plan allows our customers to budget for an equal monthly payment. An agreed upon amount is automatically deducted from your account on your due date each month. The plan will run for 11 months, after which you will receive a statement showing the amount which you owe or the amount of your credit. You will receive this statement prior to your first bill for the new Budget Payment year.

The Regular Plan

Your bill will be sent to you as usual, generally 2 weeks before they are due. On the due date, the exact amount of your bill will be automatically deducted from your account. You know in advance exactly how much will be deducted and when.

How do I join the plan?

Just return the attached application form, along with a blank cheque marked "void" for the account which you wish to use for payment and return the form to our office with your current month's payment. If more than one signature is required on cheques, please have both parties sign the application form.
