City still has ways to pay bills, fines during postal strike

NEWS RELEASE
CITY OF BARRIE
*************************
Effective today (Friday, Nov. 15, 2024), Canada Post operations have shut down and mail service has stopped, after Canadian Union of Postal Workers and Canada Post failed to reach a negotiated settlement.

Residents are reminded that they are still obligated to pay tax and water/wastewater bills as well as any fines/infractions by the due date.

To avoid late fees, interruptions, or delays, residents are encouraged to use alternate payment or delivery methods. Sign up for water e-billing by creating an online water billing account and get notified by email when your bill is due — it’s fast and easy. Visit barrie.ca/WaterBilling.

Other options for paying your water/wastewater and tax bills include:

Pay your bills online: Use online banking or an online bill payment service provider.
In-person payments: Visit your bank, Service Barrie (first floor of city hall — 70 Collier Street) or by dropping off a cheque in the drop boxes located at the front entrance of city hall (70 Collier St.).
Pre-authorized payments: Sign up for pre-authorized payment plans to avoid delays.
