Electronic billing
Internet users can receive their water bills online through epost™. The Water and Waste Department still manages your billing. The online bills look just like the ones you get in your mailbox...minus the paper and envelopes.
What is epost?
epost is a Web-based service that delivers the mail online for Canada Post, allowing Canadians to receive, review, pay and manage mail electronically.
Is epost secure?
Yes, all epost mail is kept in a secure environment and each piece of mail receives an electronic postmark - a seal that legally protects your mail - guaranteeing that your privacy is protected.
What are the benefits of epost?
epost helps us reduce the amount of paper and energy we use and makes it easy and convenient for you to:
- Receive your water bills online from anywhere you can access the Internet.
- Pay and manage your bills in one convenient, secure online location.
- Receive mail from other companies who send bills, statements and other types of mail through epost, such as Manitoba Hydro, Canadian Tire, Hudson's Bay Company and VISAs and MasterCards of major financial institutions.
You can also pay your property tax bills and business tax bills using epost.
How do I register for epost?
You can register with epost at any time – registration only takes a couple of minutes.

. - As soon as you sign up, you'll be able to login to your epost box, send epost mail, add us and any other companies from whom you'd like to receive online bills from and set up your payment methods.
- epost will ask you to enter your name, Water and Waste account number and service address exactly as they appear on your bill, so it's a good idea to have a copy of your water bill at your computer.
