You’re laying in bed, it’s 5 degrees, sleeting and snowing outside, the wind is howling and you are cozy under your blanket, not a worry in the world. Just about the time you drift off to sleep, a terrible thought hits your brain and you sit straight up in bed and say…oh, my goodness, I forgot to pay my City of Ottawa utility bill. You jump out of bed, grab your coat, run to the car, fighting the ice, and drive to City Hall to pay at the kiosk. Crap, they don’t have a kiosk anymore. Now what? You have to work tomorrow and won’t have way to get there to pay.

No worries, the City of Ottawa has a new payment tool to help you out. They now have a 24 hour, 7 days a week automated bill payment line you can use to pay, using a credit or debit card. All you need is your account number and your card…easy. No fuss, no worrying. And, you can pay your bill from the comfort of your bed, or recliner in between episodes of your favorite show you are binge watching at 3 in the morning. Dial 785-229-3600
