Get to Know LIHWAP
LIHWAP stands for the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program.
LIHWAP is a federally-funded program that offers one-time support to help low-income households pay past due or current residential water and sewer bills and keep their water on.
Many low-income residents behind on their water or sewer bills have received hundreds or even thousands of dollars in financial support to help pay their bills.
LIHWAP is administered by the California Department of Community Services and Development (CSD), which works with local water bill assistance service providers to connect low-income households to the financial support they need.
