How to Sign Up for E-Billing
If you haven’t already, it’s not too late to sign up for e-billing for your May utility bill. Visit the County Centre’s e-billing application page. Following the straightforward online procedure ensures that your utility invoices land directly in your inbox. Sturgeon County ensures you’ll hear back with a confirmation via email shortly after signing up.
