Canada Post is experiencing a service disruption due to a national strike. Operations will be shut down for the duration of the strike, leading to delays in service. As a result, residents will not receive water bills, tax statements, cheques or any municipal letters via Canada Post mail. During this time all documents will be held at the municipal office for pick during business hours and all payment due dates will remain the same, regardless of bills being received by regular mail. Alternatively, residents are encouraged to sign up for electronic billing where possible.

Sign up for e-billing for water and tax bills by visiting Meaford.ca/eBilling.

Water bills due on December 16th will not be mailed out but are available for pick up at our Municipal Office at 21 Trowbridge Street West, Meaford.
