The program is through the American Rescue Plan Act and offers Philadelphia Water Department customers up to $2,500 toward past-due water bills.

All interested residents must be experiencing a situation with their water service and have received a notice that their water service will be shut off within the next 60 days.

Pennsylvania residents must own or rent their home and meet a required household income limit as other eligibility factors.

Applicants will need to submit a recent water bill and the names, birth dates, and proof of income of all household members.

“Every Pennsylvanian has a right to clean drinking water that keeps our homes safe and our families healthy,” Pennsylvania Department of Human Services Secretary Val Arkoosh said in a press statement. “I encourage all Pennsylvanians who are at risk of losing drinking water or wastewater services and have not received LIHWAP previously to apply as soon as possible when the program opens.”

More information on how to receive assistance for unpaid bills can be found on the Philadelphia Water Department website or by calling 877-395-893 to request an application.
