Pre-authorized payment plan: Your pre-authorized payment will be withdrawn on the due date of each bill. This date will vary - It is based on the date your water meter is read.
Pre-authorized budget payment plan: A preset amount will be withdrawn from your bank account on the last day of each month, rather than the full amount on the due date.

You can set up your payments through the following banking institutions: ATB, BMO, CIBC, Credit Union, HKBC, RBC, Scotia and TD Canada Trust.

In-person at most banks and financial institutions: Payment can be made at the bank through the tellers or at an Automated Teller Machine (ATM). Please note it can take up to two weeks to process payments made through an ATM as it goes to the clearing centre in Calgary to be sorted before it is sent to the City of Airdrie.

Accounts addressed to NEW HOME OWNER will not be able to sign up on a pre-authorized payment plan through your bank account.

Do you need a consistent utility bill every month?

Sign up for a monthly fixed budget plan.

The amount you pay is calculated based on your past years consumption history or the average consumption of people in your household. To qualify for the budget plan, ensure your current utility levy and utility arrears is paid in full for eligibility.

Withdrawals are made on the last day of the month. Once you’re enrolled, you’ll receive a bill every 28 days showing your monthly payment amount.

Budget plans are automatically adjusted if utility rates increase or decrease in January.

Once a year (November 30) we settle up the budget plan accounts. All outstanding balances greater than your regular budget amount will be withdrawn from your bank account. If your outstanding balance is less than your regular budget amount, we will withdraw your payment as usual. If you have a credit balance greater than your budget amount, we will not withdraw a payment at this time

Once you have signed up for the program your only responsibility is to review your bill. By monitoring your bill and your water usage, you can ensure problems such as leaky faucets and running toilets do not wreak havoc on the cost of your utilities.

Any payment returned NSF (not sufficient funds) will result in termination of the plan and a NSF fee being added to the account. All outstanding balances and NSF fees become subject to penalties.
