Housing Division Announces Water Bill Assistance Program
(LIHWAP), which assists low-income families with their water and wastewater bills. Payments will be
made directly to the household’s utility company.
The primary goal of LIHWAP is to retain continuity of water services to low-income households in
Florida with an emphasis on prevention of disconnection and restoration of water services to
households whose water services were previously disconnected.
Eligibility for participation in LIHWAP is established according to the federal income guidelines
and must be at or below 100% of poverty level for household size of 1 to 8, and 150% of poverty
level for household size of 9 to 20.
Maximum annual income:
Household of 1 - $26,036 Household of 5 - $58,082
Household of 2 - $34,048 Household of 6 - $66,093
Household of 3 - $42,059 Household of 7 - $67,595
Household of 4 - $50,071 Household of 8 - $69,097
Please note: LIHWAP is available for eligible low-income households through September 30, 2023, or
until funds are exhausted.
If you believe you meet the above criteria, receive service from a participating utility company
(Citrus County Utilities, City of Crystal River Utilities, City of Inverness Utilities, or Floral
City Water Association, Inc.), and are interested in applying, please call Citrus County Housing
Services’ automated toll-free line at (424) 389-4290 to make at an appointment.
