RESIDENTIAL UTILITY BILLS
SPRING 2025
In April, the bi-annual residential utilities bill will be mailed out. As per the Fees and Charges Bylaw 2386 (published December 2024), residents will see an increase in their utility bills. Some households with higher usage, such as those with secondary suites, will experience a greater increase.
Utility fees are set strictly for cost recovery on operational and capital expenses. They are not a source of revenue for the City. Utility rates had remained unchanged over the last decade.
Those wishing to budget in advance for these changes may wish to look at the Fees and Charges Bylaw 2386.
Payments (Cash, Cheque, and Debit) can be made at City Hall at 2185 Voght Street, Monday – Friday, from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM, except lunch 12PM – 1:15 PM. Or by mail to Box 189, Merritt, BC, V1K 1B8.
Payments can also be made via your financial institution’s online banking. Allow 3-5 days to process.
