Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP)
The State Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) can help pay arrears for your water & sewer bills. The program may also be able to help address tax liens due to water & sewer arrears. To get more information and apply, go to waterassistance.nj.gov or call NJ211. Please preview the. LIHWAP Program Flyer
The program will provide benefits directly to water and sewer companies on behalf of residential customers. The assistance can be used, in order of priority, to:
- Restore services where services have been terminated and pay reconnection fees and other charges accrued due to a disconnection.
- Avoid service disruption for those residential customers who are in danger of disconnection (e.g., received shut off notices or have past due balances) and to help them afford bill payment going forward; and
- Support those household customers who are current in their bills but might be in danger of falling behind in the near future.
- Help address tax liens due to water & sewer arrears.
Priority will also be given to families with elderly or disabled household members and/or with children under the age of five, no matter which category they fall into
For more information and to apply, visit: waterassistance.nj.gov or call NJ211. Please review the LIHWAP Frequently Asked Questions
PLEASE NOTE: The water usage column, located on the front of your billing postcard, should state per 100 gallons of water usage rather than per 1000 gallons of water usage.
