The ongoing Canada Post strike may affect the Comox Valley Regional District’s (CVRD) ability to distribute bills.
Delivery of utility bills are being impacted by the strike, and the CVRD is reminding residents they must be paid by December 31 to avoid outstanding balances being transferred to property tax accounts held with the Ministry of Finance.
CVRD Chief Financial Officer for the CVRD Lucy Wiwcharuk said they appreciate everyone’s patience as they navigate the strike.
“We encourage account holders to register for e-billing and preauthorized payment services to avoid future postage disruptions and ensure bills can be paid prior to the annual transfer to taxes.”
Residents can receive their bills after Oct. 15 by calling or visiting the CVRD main office or registering for e-billing.
Paying utility bills can be done via pre-authorized payments, online, at the bank, or either by calling or in person at the CVRD main office.
