Festival Hydro Paperless Billing To Support United Way Perth Huron

Festival Hydro in Stratford has launched a Positivity Through Paperless program to help the environment and raise funds for the United Way Perth Huron.

For each customer who signs up for paperless billing, Festival Hydro will make a $5 donation. Last year's campaign saw 620 customers switch to paperless billing, and $3,100 donated to 48 organizations and services depending on the United Way.

“We are so pleased to partner with them once again on the Positivity Through Paperless campaign. Their continued support and the support of their customers helps ensure United Way has the resources it needs to continue our diverse work in local communities," says said UWPH Executive Director Ryan Erb.

Festival Hydro CEO Ysni Semsedini says, “We are very grateful for the opportunity to give back to the communities where our customers live and to show our support for an organization that touches the lives of so many people.”

Customers are encouraged to call Festival Hydro at 519-271-4700 to speak with a customer service representative or visit festivalhydro.com to register for the MyFestivalHydro portal and select the paperless billing option.
