The Town of Antigonish is in the process of converting to a new accounting and billing system. The new system will give us the ability to send our water and electric utility invoices to your email account instead of through the regular mail. Also, depending on uptake and interest we will be implementing a pre-authorized payment option for customers to pay Town bills. Options we are considering include monthly installments and pay in full as we bill. These changes will take place over the next few months. 

If you wish to have water and electric bills emailed to you instead of mailed to you, please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

If preauthorized payment of any or all town accounts is of interest to you, please include mention of that desire in an email, again to This email address is being protected from spambots.
