PURPOSE: Council to execute the 2023 State Water Assistance Fund to assist the Federally Funded LIHWAP program for Contract #23-32607-081

 

BACKGROUND: The 2023 State Water Assistance Funds are to assist the Federally Funded Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). The program is intended to assist low-income households who are disconnected or are in imminent threat of disconnection from drinking and sewer water services. 

The Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) is funded by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Washington State Department of Commerce. The program funds are designed to reduce the burden of rising home energy costs by providing assistance with a portion of a low-income household’s water bill.  

The contract is for $142,445 for the period of October 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023. 

According to SCC 3.04.140(8), council must approve the contract since it is not in the Grant Work Plan.
