City prepares for postal strike disruptions
The City of Red Deer says it has taken steps to minimize the impact of any disruptions from rotating strikes by the Canada Union of Postal Workers (CUPW).
“We are doing what we can to make it as easy as possible for people to get the information they need about their City accounts despite the interruption in mail service,” said Shelley Gingrich, Corporate Controller. “We want citizens to know how they can get information and make utility bill payments, which are still due on-time, despite the postal disruption.”
Customers can get account information and sign up for e-billing or preauthorized automatic withdrawals by logging on to www.reddeer.ca/mycity.
To avoid late payment penalties, City officials encourage residents to use alternatives to the mail to pay their utility bills, such as preauthorized withdrawals, paying at your bank or with online/telephone banking, or in person at City Hall between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
