Water Utility Assistance for Low-Income Households

The Lee Board of County Commissioners accepted about $2.8 million from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity for the Low Income Home Water Assistance Program to assist households with water and wastewater costs.

The funds will be used through September 2023 to assist households countywide to prevent disconnection of service. The program will help with past-due water and/or wastewater bills for households with an income at or below 150% of the federal poverty level.

People can apply in two ways:

• Online: Go to www.leegov.com/dhs/assistance/financial.  Submit electronic applications during normal hours of operation, between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM on WEEKDAYS only.
