Mail the bottom portion of your bill along with a cheque to City Hall – Water Dept.
Pay Your Water Bill
The City has invested over $100 million in water and sewer infrastructure in the last 15 years, producing some of the safest, cleanest most reliable water in Western Canada. We have done this while keeping water bills the second lowest in the province.
You can pay your water utility invoice in one of five ways:
Payments can be paid at the cashier counter in the Financial Services department on the main floor of City Hall. We accept cash, cheque, money order or interac (debit) payments. Credit card payments are not accepted. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (excluding holidays).
After office hours, payments can be left in the drop box located outside the City Hall Main door (West Entrance). Only cheques or money orders are accepted. Please make them payable to the City of Prince Albert. Do not put cash payments in the drop box.
Utility bills can be paid in person at your financial institution or through telephone or internet banking. If you have recently moved, remember to inform your financial institution of your new utility account number.
Use the following payee information when setting up at the following financial institutions:
RBC - City of Prince Albert Sask Util
TD - Prince Albert (City of) Utilities
Scotia - Prince Albert (City) Water
BMO - Prince Albert City Water
CIBC - Prince Albert (City of) - Water

MIPPS is a monthly installment payment plan which allows utility customers to make consecutive monthly payments at the beginning of each month for utilities as opposed to payments quarterly.
Water Utility Bill Charges
The City has invested over $100 million in water and sewer infrastructure in the last 15 years, producing some of the safest, cleanest most reliable water in Western Canada. We have done this while keeping water bills the second lowest in the province.
Your water utility bill includes flat rates and consumption charges for the amount of water you use. Flat charges are used to pay for the construction and upkeep of the City's water and sewer infrastructure. This includes the replacement and maintenance of hundreds of kilometers of water, sewer and storm pipes, water reservoirs, water meters, water treatment plant, raw water pumphouse, sewage lift stations and the sewer treatment plant.
Water consumption charges are based on the amount of water you use. These charges help pay for the operation of the water and sewer system including the staff to repair water and sewer lines and run the water and sewer treatment plants. See the section below to learn more about how to reduce charges on your water utility bill.
Your bill also includes a monthly sanitation fee which pays for curbside garbage, recycling and yard waste pick up. If you pay this fee, you are also eligible to redeem 4 free accesses to the landfill each year.
