Payment includes all fees and charges if at imminent risk of household water or wastewater service disconnect.
The Deadline for new applications was May 31, 2023. The program is now closed. For information on Energy Assistance Programs or updates on LIHWAP program dates, please visit the Connecticut DSS Energy Assistance Program or your local Community Renewal Team.
