What is the Limited Income Senior Rate Program?
This is a residential utility assistance program that provides a 30% discount on the Water Service Rate, one of the water rate components on a customer’s bill. On a 3/4" water service (most common size for residences), the discount reduces the fixed, monthly charge from $30.93 per month to $21.65 per month. This is a $9.28 savings per month. This program does not change any other water rate component.
Who qualifies for this program?
- Senior citizen - 60 years of age and older
- Applicant must be the utility account holder
- Permanent, full-time resident at the service address
- Limited income (200% federal poverty level - 2025)
