Water Assistance
Water assistance provides funds to assist low-income households with restoration of household water services.
Counties served: Collin, Cooke, Denton, Fannin, Grayson, Hunt, Rockwall
Water assistance is only available for households that are currently disconnected or are facing disconnection. Assistance is provided through a one-time payment. If you become disconnected or receive a disconnection notice 90 days after our initial payment, you may reapply for additional assistance.
Each client situation is evaluated through an application process and the appropriate program service is then determined. Individual goals and objectives are identified as well as techniques for budgeting and energy conservation which will transition the client from poverty and/or address crisis situations.
