For Immediate Release: Tax & Water Bills

When we send our property and water tax bills in May and April respectively, we know that many will make their payment as soon as they receive their invoice – and we appreciate that.

Because some among us may be subject to financial stressors caused by the fall-out of COVID-19, the Municipality is granting a grace period such that the tax and water bills detailed below will not be considered as due until July 31st and, of course, no interest will begin to accumulate on the invoice until July 1st and will be waived completely for invoices paid before July 31st.

In addition, there will be no interest applied for the same period on accounts presently in arrears.

Municipal Council would like to thank you all for helping one another throughout this difficult time.

Peter Muttart
Mayor
