Water Bill Assistance Program
The Water Bill Assistance Program is a one-time benefit to be paid directly to the water company to pay the bill, late fees, reconnect fees, or other items on the bill that are required to continue service for at least 30 days. Additional items may include sewer charges or current and past bill amounts.
This program is for income-eligible residents with a disconnected water source. Households must be at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. The water bill must be in the process of disconnect or already in shut-off status.
You will need to bring...
- Your current water bill
- Proof of income for the last 30 days OR
- Proof of assistance through PRC, OWF, and TANF
- Photo ID, social security card, or another form of identification.
