(PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA) July 25, 2022 — EID is enrolled in the federally funded Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). This program offers low-income households a one-time payment for outstanding bills for residential water and/or wastewater expenses.

El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) is enrolled in the federally funded Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). This program offers low-income households a one-time payment for outstanding bills for residential water and/or wastewater expenses. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government awarded California funding to help households struggling to afford the costs of water and wastewater services.

LIHWAP may be able to help you pay your EID water or wastewater residential utility bill, assist with an emergency or water crisis, such as a service disconnection, or prevent another adverse effect such as debt collection or lien placement.

The amount of assistance will depend on the past due balance of your household’s residential water and/or wastewater bills.

Households whose utility payments are included in their rent may also be eligible.

In addition, program participation is limited to households receiving services from water and wastewater providers enrolled LIHWAP to receive the payment of assistance benefits. EID is enrolled and our customers are eligible to apply. Visit the District’s Low Income Assistance Programs webpage for additional information and resources.
