Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP)

LIHWAP Assistance Program Extended

The Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP), which was scheduled to end September 30, has been extended for another 6 months. This program is federally funded and run by the Vermont Department for Children and Families (DCF) to help eligible households pay their water and sewer bills. There is still about $550,000 available.

Eligible households are those with overdue water/sewer bills and income below 60% of the state median income based on household size. The customer application is at https://dcf.vermont.gov/benefits/hwa.
