With a possible postal strike coming, City of North Battleford urges sign-ups for e-billing, text reminders for utilities

The City of North Battleford is urging utility customers to make arrangements for receipt of upcoming utility bills via email, in the event of another Canada Post strike. A postal strike may occur effective May 22, 2025.

Utility bills will be sent by email without interruption for those who have signed up for e-billing, which is free of charge. Sign-ups can be completed online at this link. Consumers can also sign up for free text reminders, which will notify customers about any outstanding balances and payment deadlines, helping them to avoid service disconnections. Penalties for late payments will still apply.

Utility customers can also call or visit City Hall during regular business hours to confirm the amount owing for their current bill. Utility payments can be made in person at City Hall (using cash, cheque, debit card, or money order), or online using a credit card. Cheques which are hand-delivered to City Hall should be made payable to ‘City of North Battleford’.

Vendors or contractors that wish to send invoices to the City of North Battleford are encouraged to send them electronically to accountspayable@cityofnb.ca. The City of North Battleford will be issuing only electronic fund transfers (EFTs) during the postal strike, so those anticipating payments from the City should contact the Finance Department to provide banking information in lieu of a mailed cheque.

The City of North Battleford thanks the public in advance for their cooperation during the potential interruption to postal services.
