- California Low Income Household Water Assistance Program: https://csd.ca.gov/waterbill
- What is LIHWAP? LIHWAP offers a one-time payment to help you pay your past due or current water or wastewater bills accrued during any timeframe. The size of a benefit can vary depending on the past due balance of the household’s residential water and wastewater bills. In addition, program participation is limited to households receiving services from water and wastewater providers enrolled in LIHWAP to receive the payment of assistance benefits. Households that qualify for LIHWAP could reduce their water or wastewater charges, by up to $2,000.
- How is LIHWAP funded? LIHWAP is funded by the federal government and administered by the CA Department of Community Services and Development. CSD works with local community-based service providers to help low-income households pay down their outstanding water and wastewater utility bills.
- When can I apply? Eligible households with past due or current residential water or wastewater bills can begin applying for LIHWAP assistance in June 2022.
- Who is eligible? Your total household gross income is at or below 60% of the State Median Income (see table) or a household member is a current recipient of CalFresh, CalWORKs, or the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
- How do I apply? Households can apply for LIHWAP assistance through a local LIHWAP service provider. Eligibility for LIHWAP services can vary depending on income, water system participation (MOWD is an approved utility provider), place of residence, and other factors. Households whose utility payments are included in their rent may also be eligible for LIHWAP. Contact your local LIHWAP service provider to learn more about how to apply.
