Speeding In Town

 

 

There have been complaints with concerns about speeding in town. The speed limit is 30 kms/hr on town roads. Please slow down the days and evenings are getting longer, kids are out playing and more people are walking. How would you feel if you cause serious injuries to someone because of speeding that could have been prevented?

 

 

Water Cut Off

 

 

This is a final reminder to residents who are in arrears for Municipal Taxes. Your water will be cut Friday May 6, 2016. It is not fair for residents who do not pay their taxes to get the same service as those that do pay.

 

 

 

Online Payments

 

 

To residents who wish to pay their Municipal Taxes online you may add The Town of Parsons Pond to your payee list through whatever bank you do business with? The town is set up through Scotiabank and Central 1 Credit Union thus far. We are still waiting for CIBC and Bank of Montreal to get set up. The town hopes the residents that use online banking will avail of this service.
