News Archive Posted on September 08, 2023 | Last Updated on July 16, 2024

The Maryland Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) is now offering potential relief of up to $10,000.

In a significant development, the program's deadline has been extended until December 31, offering additional time for eligible individuals and families to secure much-needed financial support.

LIHWAP, a pioneering initiative, is aimed at easing the burden of water and wastewater costs for low-income households grappling with financial hardship. The program has a keen focus on assisting Maryland families who find themselves behind on their drinking water and wastewater bills, particularly targeting accounts that are 30 days or more past due.

This invaluable assistance program has received the stamp of approval from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Service Administration for Children and Families.

To seize this opportunity and get relief from water bill challenges, visit the Office of Home Energy Programs of the Department of Human Services today.
