Federal funds available for water bill assistance for low-income households

The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) has recently partnered with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and Promise to introduce the federally funded Florida Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) to customers in our County. 

LIHWAP helps eligible customers experiencing financial burden receive relief toward their residential water and sewer utility bill.

Some eligible WASD customers have already been determined eligible based on income thresholds and will be receiving a text message from Promise regarding their water and sewer bill credit.

Relief for the program will be administered on a first come, first served basis until monies have been exhausted.

Customers can learn more about their eligibility status for this program by contacting Miami-Dade County’s Community Action and Human Services Department (CASHD) at 786-469-4600.
