Why is there a convenience fee?
There are several low or no-cost means to pay your bill with Milton Hydro. These include, pre-authorized payment, equal payment plan, telephone banking, mailing a cheque, placing a payment in our drop box. Even so, many customers still prefer to pay by credit card. Credit card companies charge businesses like Milton Hydro a percentage of the payment for processing it. As a regulated utility, the entire amount of your payment is spoken for – some of the payment goes to the generators, some to the transmitters, some to the market operator and some for debt retirement. Less than 20% of your payment stays with Milton Hydro. Therefore, to be fair to all customers, we have to ensure that the users of the credit card service pay for the service.
