$18 million is being funneled to low-income Wisconsin households to help them pay their water bills

The Low Income Household Water Assistance Program is offering $18 million to Wisconsin households in need of water utility assistance.

The money is from broader pandemic-related rental assistance funds, which were released for the first time in December.

In order to be considered for the water assistance program, households need to qualify for the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program. The program has several eligibility requirements, such as household income, household size, the household`s water and utility burden. 

You can apply to the home energy assistance program through the webpage, or by calling Impact 211 or 1-800-506-5596...
