Interruptions to paying a parking ticket 

Due to the Canada Post labour disruption, there may be an impact to mail delivery as it relates to parking tickets. If you receive a parking ticket, you can pay online or deposit a cheque in a sealed envelope at the drop box located at the Township Office 263 Main Street, Odessa. Mailing a cheque is not recommended. You are still required to pay your parking ticket within the required timelines. 

If you receive a parking ticket, you can pay your ticket in one of the following ways: 

Online - Using our online parking ticket form 

In person – By interac, cash or cheque at the Administration Office at 263 Main Street, Odessa, during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  

Drop box - You can also drop payment by cheque into one of several 24-hour drop boxes throughout the Township: 

  • Municipal Office, 263 Main Street, Odessa 

Please do not put cash in the drop box. 

Utility bills 

Customers who are registered to receive their utility bills in hardcopy via mail must pay the amount owing by the due date to avoid late payment charges. 

To avoid disruptions in receiving utility bills, customers are encouraged to go paperless and we will deliver a PDF version of your water and sewer bill directly to your email account. The electronic bill looks just like a paper bill, and your due date and payment options are the same. To go paperless, please fill out the e-billing form. 

Payment options 

Automatic withdrawal – Complete our Automatic Debit Plan authorization form and we will take your payment out of your bank account on the due date. 

Online or telephone banking – Add Loyalist Water or Loyalist Utilities as a payee. Use your 15-digit account number, found on your water and sewer bill, with no spaces or dots. Please allow enough processing time to make sure we get your payment by the due date. 

In person – You can pay by cash, cheque, or debit at the Odessa Municipal Office during office hours.  

Drop box - You can also drop payment by cheque into one of several 24-hour drop boxes throughout the Township:
