Bill Payment Options - Postal Strike

What To Do In Case of a Postal Strike?

The Municipality of Central Huron is advising customers that due to the possible postal strike at Canada Post, delivery of your water sewer bill, taxes, and other invoices or payments mailed to us could be impacted. Please note that you are still responsible for paying your bill on time and that late charges will apply if your payment is late.
