Ratepayer Assistance Program
SCV Water has developed a pilot Ratepayer Assistance Program
to help some low-income residential households stay current on their water bills.
Accepting applications starting

Assistance
Qualifying SCV Water residential customers can receive a $10 monthly credit towards their fixed service charge, for up to a 12-month period during the fiscal year.
Assistance will be given to qualifying customers from the priority group, on a “first-come, first-served” basis, so long as funds are available. If additional funds are available after processing the priority group applications, the RAP will be opened to all eligible customers meeting the qualifying criteria.
Customers must qualify. Applications are required.
