Saline County Water and Sewer joins utility aid program

If customers of the Saline County Water and Sewer Public Facilities Board (SCWSPFB) have had their water or wastewater services cut off, or if your services are in danger of being cut off because your bill is past due, you may be eligible for the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program. The SCWSPFB has joined a program that will help customers pay your water and sewer bill if you qualify.

Bob McKeon, General Manager of SCWSPFB, has announced the water and sewer district has joined a state program that will help customers pay overdue water and sewer bills. McKeon said the assistance program will be available beginning in September.

“Since the economy is affecting so many families Saline County Water & Sewer PFB has joined the Arkansas Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP),” McKeon said in his announcement.

SCWSPFB provides water and sewer service for most of South Alexander. If you qualify the payment will be sent directly to the utility.

According to information provided by McKeon the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program is an emergency program to help families with overdue water bills or who are at risk of losing water service at their home. LIHWAP is a grant you do not have to repay. Eligible households can receive a one-time benefit of up to $2,000.

Documents you will need to provide include; Proof of identity, Social Security card, Proof of income, Copies of most recent water utility bills, and Lease agreement (if water is included in your rent).

You may check income limits and apply online by going to www.ArkansasLIHWAP.com. You may also call 1-888-985-6441 to inquire about income limits or submit an application.
