Billing

Residential customers and the majority of commercial customers are billed quarterly for all usage incurred during that billing period. Some larger commercial customers are billed on a monthly basis. There are two billing cycles in the Municipality: Stephen and Exeter. See the below tables for the listing of billing cycles and due dates.

Payment options

The Municipality has a number of options available to our customers for payment. Payment must be received at the municipal office by the due date to avoid penalty.

Pre-authorized payment plans

The Municipality offers two pre-authorized payment plans for utility bills.

  • Due date plan: The amount due is automatically withdrawn from your bank account on the due date.
  • Monthly plan: A predetermined fixed monthly amount is withdrawn from your bank account on the last business day of each month. For arrangements or adjustments contact our utility clerk.     

Please contact us to receive a pre-authorized payment plan form to sign up.
Banking institutions
  • Telephone or internet payments can be made through most financial institutions. Add “South Huron Water” or “South Huron Utility” as a payee. Your customer/account number will be the account number located at the top right of your bill excluding the decimal place. For example, if your utility account number is 123456.78, then your account number to pay your bill is 12345678.
  • Payments can be made in person at most local financial institutions or through an ATM.

Please allow sufficient time for payment to reach our office on or before the due date in order to avoid penalty.

Disconnection notice

In the event that payment is not received on account, a disconnection notice will be sent out to inform the customer. This could result in the water being turned off. After the water has been turned off for non-payment, payment must be received in full before the water is turned back on. Full payment at this point must be made in person at the Municipal Office in the form of cash, debit, certified cheque or money order.
