Can I cancel my PAD at any time?

You can submit a cancellation request at any time; please note that revenue branch requires 9 days to process your cancellation request through My ServiceOttawa.  If you have a withdrawal scheduled within the 9 day period the withdrawal will be taken as scheduled.  Revenue branch requires 30 days to process cancellation requests sent via fax, mail or email.

What happens to my PAD if I move?

If you are moving please contact revenue branch (613-580-2444) to schedule a final meter reading for your water and sewer account.  To schedule a final meter reading you will be asked for the purchaser name/s, the closing date and a forwarding address.  Once a final meter reading is taken a final bill will be issued.  After the final bill is withdrawn the account and PAD will be closed.  PAD plans are not transferrable from one account to another.  If you require PAD set up at a new address see How do I set up PAD for my water and sewer account  above.
