ADELANTO – The City of Adelanto is offering residents up to six months financial assistance on past due water bills.
The Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) is a limited-term, federally funded program that offers assistance to help low-income households pay residential water and sewer bills.
Eligibility
The Department of Community Services and Development (CSD) says key factors to determine eligibility for LIHWAP assistance include:
- Total household gross income is at or below 60% of the State Median Income or
- A household member is a current recipient of CalFresh, CalWORKs, or the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP);
- Renters whose water and/or sewer bill is included in their rental payment may still qualify for LIHWAP. Renters must also complete an agreement with their landlord as part of the application.
Limited Funding
The city says funding is only available for a limited time.
Residents that have already received COVID-19 funded assistance previously, will not qualify.
