Account help and policy limits

Contact Water Billing at 519-837-5627 or waterbilling@guelph.ca for an account question. The city page links profile instructions, bill inserts and the sample bill for locating the account number.

A profile and a linked account are different steps. Creating an email profile alone does not attach a property bill. Use Add Account for the correct water account.

This guide explains portal and change requests. It does not calculate a water bill, establish a payment-due-date extension or promise leak credit; those are separate billing policies.
