BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A pandemic-era program to help low-income Vermonters pay their water and sewer bills is coming to an end next month.
The Low Income Household Water Assistance Program pays for overdue water and/or sewer bills, including back-charges and fees associated with the outstanding balance. In addition, the program may be able to provide a one-time future payment.
To be eligible, customers must be on a public drinking water and/or wastewater utility and with an income below 60% of the state median income
