Behind on your water bill? Get HELP.

Jackson, Lenawee, and Hillsdale county residents with household income at or less than 150% of the Federal Poverty Level may qualify for up to $1,500 to pay past-due water bills through the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) at Community Action Agency.

“The Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS) has provided critical funding for CAA to partner with municipal water service providers to help low-income residents avoid shutoffs for past-due balances,” says CAA Director of Community Programs Laura Reaume. “Qualifying households should contact the CAA office in their county of residence to apply for assistance.”

Funding for LIHWAP will be available until September 30, 2023 or until the funds are depleted, so residents are encouraged to call the Community Action Agency in their county of residence as soon as the need arises to determine eligibility and apply for assistance.
