Receiving bill assistance from SAWS? It may be time to reapply.

Keeping essential water and sewer services affordable — especially for our most vulnerable residents — is a priority for SAWS.

It’s why SAWS Uplift was created. This income-based assistance program helps ease the burden of paying monthly water bills for those who qualify.

Uplift recipients are required to complete a new application every three years. Starting in April, SAWS will begin contacting these customers with a reminder that it’s time to reapply at saws.org/myaccount.
