LIHWAP is a federally funded program from the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to assist income-eligible families with water and wastewater costs. LIHWAP provides water bill assistance to those that pay a high portion of their income for drinking water and wastewater services.
The purpose of LIHWAP is to mitigate financial hardships associated with the COVID-19 pandemic by restoring household water services, reducing arrearages, and rates charged to households and helping to ensure that low-income households have access to safe and clean drinking water and wastewater services.
