| Utilities bill causes confusion |
By Katie Strachan The Oshawa Express Some Oshawa councillors are concerned that the disadvantaged residents of Oshawa have to overcome obstacles to perform a simple task - pay their utilities bill.“I don’t want to produce any barriers for people who may have some disadvantages,” says Councillor April Cullen. “I’m afraid with the economic downturn…that we have yet to see a great deal of people who are disadvantaged for various reasons.” The President and CEO of Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation (OPUC), Atul Mahajan, echoes her concerns.“We share your concern for people who are less advantaged in our community. It will never be our goal to inconvenience people,” he says. OPUC has set up an agreement with the TD Bank at King and Simcoe Streets downtown where customers can pay their bill using cash at no extra cost to them. “With this current economic time there certainly will be people who lose their banking privileges. I would welcome cash,” adds Mahajan. But for city councillors one bank that accepts cash across the city is not enough. |
