You can pay at our 861 Redwood Square office Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For your convenience, we have a drop box just to the left of the front door. Please note that we check the drop box once each day at 8:30 a.m.

Automatic Payment Plans Back to top

Our automatic payment plans provide you with the option of having payments automatically withdrawn from your bank account.

We offer two options: the Basic Plan and the Equal Payment Plan.

• Basic Plan - Bills are sent as usual to you, monthly or bi-monthly, depending on the type of service you selected. On the due date, the amount due is automatically withdrawn from your bank account.
• Equal Payment Plan (EPP) - A fixed amount is withdrawn from your bank account on a monthly basis. The amount is calculated using the average consumption over the previous 12 month period. You have the option of having the withdrawal take place on either the 2nd or 16th of each month.
  The EPP amount is reviewed on a yearly basis to ensure that it is in line with your actual bills and may increase or decrease depending on the previous 12-month billing history.

For your convenience, you may start or quit a plan anytime. However, once you start either plan, any outstanding balance must paid in full before opting out.

Remember to:

• Mark the date you want your payment to be withdrawn each month if you choose the EPP.
• Sign the authorization form after printing it.
• Include a cheque marked “VOID”
• Pay any current balance.

Mail Back to top

Use the return envelope provided with your invoice and send your payment back in the mail. Please be sure to mail your payment 3-5 days prior to the due date on the invoice to avoid incurring overdue account interest charges.

Telephone / Online Banking Back to top

Fast, convenient, 24 hour access and you don't need to leave home.

We accept telephone or online payments made through your financial institution. Please check with your financial institution to find out if they offer this service. Please remember – it can take 3 to 5 business days for us to receive the payment from the bank so allow enough time for processing to ensure you meet the due date.

If you move, make sure to contact your financial institution and give them your new Oakville Hydro account number.

Note: When you sign up for a telephone or online payment service, you will be asked to enter an 8-digit Oakville Hydro account number. To do this, enter your 8-digit Oakville Hydro account number and make sure you remove the hyphen.

Example: 123456-8 becomes 1234568

Western Union Back to top

Oakville Hydro accepts payments through Western Union. Payment outlets include A&P and Dominion grocery stores, most Wal-Mart stores, Money Marts, Cash Money and many convenience stores.

Just like any other payment through Western Union, there is a transaction fee associated with the transaction payable to the Western Union outlet by the customer.
