Paying Online Through Your Bank

You may set the District of Summerland as a "Payee" when paying online through your bank.  Depending on the banking institution, search for "Summerland" first and then either the District of Summerland or the Corporation of Summerland, and then "Utilities". If you are unable to set up our Utility Account on line, contact your bank. Be sure the correct Utility Account number is set up. Allow for at least 3 - 5 business days for processing to ensure we receive the payment before the due date. The District of Summerland must adhere to the transaction date which the bank electronically sends to us. 

It is important to remember that if you move within Summerland, your Utility Account Number will change each time. Be sure to have your banking information is changed to show the new account number.

Paying at your local bank

You may pay your Utility Bill at most local banks using your current Utility Account number located on the top left hand side of your bill. Please ensure that the account number is verified when doing so. Allow for at least 3 - 5 business days processing to ensure we receive the payment before the due date.
