The Ohio Department of Development and IMPACT Community Action Partnership continues to help income-eligible Ohioans with water and wastewater assistance through September 30, 2023. The Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) is a federally funded program that provides eligible Ohioans assistance with paying water and wastewater bills.
Eligible clients are those that are at or below 175% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, who have been disconnected or have a disconnection notice or either need to establish new service or pay to transfer service.
“Access to clean and safe drinking water and wastewater services shouldn’t be a privilege,” Shameikia Smith, IMPACT’s Vice President of IMPACT Community Action, said. “This is a health issue. It is a fundamental human right. It’s a cornerstone of public health, environmental sustainability, and social justice.”
