LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLD WATER

ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LIHWAP)

Good news! California’s Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) has expanded program eligibility to assist customers who are current on their bills. Eligible residential customers who are struggling to pay their bills may qualify for a one-time arrearage or non-arrearage assistance payment, even if it results in a credit that is applied toward future water bills.

LIHWAP is a federally funded program that offers a one-time payment to residential customers whose total household gross income is at or below 60% of the State Median Income, or a household member is a current recipient of CalFresh or CalWORKS.

For additional information on eligibility and enrollment, visit the California Department of Community Services & Development website: csd.ca.gov/lihwap.
