The Town of Coalhurst is excited to introduce Auto Payments for Utility Bills.

1. Pick up and fill out a “Utilities Auto Payment Form” at the Town Office or download one at coalhurst.ca/services/utilities-services.
    
2. Drop off the completed form with a void cheque or Bank Pre-Authorized Debit sheet at the Town Office, or scan and email it to [email protected]. Emailed photographs will not be accepted.
    
3. New sign up forms need to be handed in at least 30 days prior to the next withdrawal date. The first Automatic Payments will begin on November 15, 2016 and subsequent payments will be taken out on the 15^th of each month.

Please contact Cathi McCann or Kyle Bullock at the Town Office if you have any questions regarding the service. We hope that this option will make it more convenient for residents to make payments faster and on time.
