More than 11,000 Water & Sewerage Corporation customers have signed up for its electronic notification (e-Notification) system following a three-month joint promotion that it ran with the Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC).

The e-Notification system gives customers updates about service and payments via their smart phones. Customers can also manage their accounts, file complaints and send frequently asked questions through e-Notifications, which is a free service available when they sign up via the Corporation’s website.

Visna Armbrister, the Corporation’s public affairs manager, said: “The Corporation is very pleased with the results of the three-month long e-Notification campaign.

“Over 11,000 customers have signed up for e-Notifications, and we hope that even though the campaign has ended, that our customers will see the benefits of the programme and continue to sign up.”

The final winner for the promotional campaign was Dorissa Dorsett, who won a Samsung Galaxy S5 courtesy of BTC. Apart from signing up for e-Notification, customers can now pay bills at banks and cash-n-go locations, rather than waiting in long lines at the Corporation.

Ms Armbrister added: “Why wait to go to the post office to get your billing statements or, even worse, to make all that effort, and your statement is not there.

“The Corporation would like to see every customer with an e-mail address switch from the post office to using this easy and convenient means of receiving their billing statement on time, every time, guaranteed.”
