Welland residents will not have to worry about penalty or interest charges.

The city has decided to suspend the charges for outstanding tax and water/wastewater bills until the end of May.

It's one less thing residents and businesses will have to worry about during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This also applies to interest charges on outstanding accounts receivables.

The pre-authorized payment program will continue and NSF charges will be waived.

Residents can pay their bills online or over the phone.

Civic Square remains closed at this time.
