The City of North Bay wants you to use eBilling and is giving you a reason to make the switch.
The City is offering residents the chance to win a year’s worth of water bill savings.
Officials say customers who sign up for eBilling before Dec. 15 can choose to be entered in a draw to win a credit of $1,100 on their account, the equivalent of the average annual residential water bill for homes. If you’re already signed up for the service, you can also participate in the contest.
Officials say along with the convenience, eBilling reduces paper waste and is environmentally responsible. The city shares only 33 per cent of water users receive electronic bills, meaning over 11,000 paper bills are sent out each month. It’s an estimated annual postage cost of $125,000.
“Going paperless helps the City allocate resources more efficiently, redirecting funds from printing and mailing to other essential initiatives,” said Deputy Mayor Horsfield. “We look forward to seeing more residents signing up.”
