Low-income residents may still access millions of dollars in federal assistance to help pay overdue residential water and wastewater bills, the San Diego County Water Authority announced Friday.
According to a news release, the application deadline for the Low-Income Water Assistance Program has been extended to March 31, 2024.
As of now, the state has $40 million available, with $5 million for San Diego County, Water Authority officials said. Dan Denham, Water Authority general manager, said water affordability is one of his agency's top priorities. The Water Authority has teamed up with the Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee on Anti-Poverty of San Diego County and Campesinos Unidos Inc. to inform residents about federal financial aid for water customers.
