More in this Section...

All properties in Richmond Hill are billed for water and wastewater services. Charges are based on accurate water meter readings and appear on your water bill. Residential properties receive a bill every three months. Commercial and large volume accounts are billed every two months.

There are a number of ways to pay your Richmond Hill water bill:

Pay at a deposit box 

You can drop off your water bill payment at one of our afterhours deposit boxes. We accept payments at these boxes 24 hours a day. Please attach your water payment stub to the cheque within your envelope. There are two locations:

  • Main Municipal Office: 225 East Beaver Creek Richmond Hill, ON L4B 3P4
    (ground floor, main entrance)
  • Operation Centre: 1200 Elgin Mills Road East Richmond Hill, ON L4S 1M4 (main entrance)
Pay at the bank
Your water bill payments can also be made at most major banks or through an automated bank machine. You will need to bring your water bill or water payment stub. Contact your bank from more information. 

Pay by mail 

You can pay your water bill by mailing us a cheque payable to Town of Richmond Hill. We also accept postdated cheques for billing due dates. Send your cheque and water payment stub to:

Richmond Hill, Water and Wastewater Payments Processing Centre
P.O. Box 1998, Station B
Toronto, ON M5T 3G6

Postdated cheques can't be returned. Do not send cash. 

Pay electronically 

Your bank most likely offers telephone or Internet banking options for easy bill payments. Call your bank for more information. You will need your 13 digit water account number which can be found on the top of your water bill. 

Pay in person

We accept water bill payments by cash, cheque, money order or debit card at Access Richmond Hill. We do not accept credit cards for water bill payments. Please bring your water bill or payment stub with you when making the payment. Access Richmond Hill is located at:

225 East Beaver Creek Road, Ground Floor
Richmond Hill, ON L4B 3P4

Hours of Operation: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday 

Pre-authorized debit plans 

We offer two pre-authorized debit plans:

  • A due date plan, withdrawing payment on regular due dates
  • An equalized plan, withdrawing payments on the first business day of each month

 

View our pre-authorized plan information and forms in the Property Tax section. 

What happens if I don't pay my bill?

If you don't pay your water bill by the due date, your account balance owing becomes due immediately. A final notice will be issued and if payment is still not received within 20 calendar days from the issuance of the final notice, the water arrears will be transferred to the property tax account for non-payment. Additionally an administration charge of $37 will be added to the water account. Please note, if your payment is received after the water arrears have been transferred to your property tax account, the credit will remain on the water account and the amount on the property tax account will remain outstanding.
