There are a variety of ways to pay your City of Saskatoon Utility Statement; choose the payment plan that works best for you. For maximum convenience, you may equalize your monthly payments and arrange for direct debit from your bank account.
No matter what method you use to pay your bill, the Equalized Payment Plan (EPP) allows you to pay the same amount each month for your utilities.
We will review the usage at your address to determine your EPP monthly amount. Each month you will receive a utility statement displaying your bill for current usage, the EPP amount billed, and the difference between these amounts.
The plan also keeps track of the total difference between your annual usage and your EPP bills. If necessary, we may adjust your EPP monthly amount during the year to prevent a large bill at settle-up time. When your account is settled-up after 11 EPP bills, if you have used less utility services than we had anticipated, your settle-up bill may be a credit (which is then applied to your next month's bill). If you have used more than we anticipated, the settle-up bill may be larger than your previous EPP bills.
At settle-up time, your account is reviewed and a new EPP monthly amount is selected for the next year taking into account the previous year's usage.
Apply for EPP
You may request the Equalized Payment Plan by phone or in person; a Customer Service Representatiave will assess your billing history to determine an appropriate EPP monthly amount.
Equalized billing does not apply to current outstanding bills. We recommend that your account be paid in full and that you have a recent actual reading of your meter(s) before starting EPP.
EPP may be cancelled at anytime by phone, fax, mail or in person. If EPP is cancelled, all current usage will be billed on your next utility statement.
The Direct Debit plan automatically withdraws the amount of your utility bill from your bank account each month. You will still receive a monthly utility statement and payments are normally withdrawn 21 days after your Bill Date.
You may apply for Direct Debit at anytime but all outstanding bills must be paid by your first automatic withdrawal date. Payments must be withdrawn from a Canadian bank; line of credit account and credit cards may not be used for Direct Debit. If you wish to have payments withdrawn from a savings account, fill in the bank information (Institution Number, Transit Number, Bank Account Number) on the application form.
