A reminder to Red Deer residents who opted to defer their utility payments for 90 days at the end of March in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Those payments are due by June 15th to the City of Red Deer, with a 1.5% penalty added to outstanding balances.

The deferral period is being lifted to avoid additional pressure on the tax base that would result in rate increases in years to come; however, recognizing that many citizens in Red Deer may be experiencing significant economic impacts stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, flexible payment plans are available for customers experiencing difficulties paying the full balance.

Anyone needing to arrange a payment plan should contact us before their bill’s due date by calling 403- 342-8111 at utilities@reddeer.ca .
