Limited Income Senior Rate Program

What is the Limited Income Senior Rate Program?

This is a residential utility assistance program that provides a 30% discount on the Water Service Rate, one of the water rate components on a customer’s bill. On a 3/4" water service (most common size for residences), the discount reduces the fixed, monthly charge from $32.17 per month to $22.52 per month. This is a $9.65 savings per month. This program does not change any other water rate component.

Who qualifies for this program?

• Senior citizen - 60 years of age and older
• Applicant must be the utility account holder
• Permanent, full-time resident at the service address
• Limited income (200% federal poverty level - 2025)

How is Limited Income defined?

If I qualify, when will it apply?

• The discount will be applied to the account once reviewed and approved and will take effect with the next utility bill. The discounted rate cannot be applied retroactively.
• A customer will be required to reapply and requalify five (5) years after first qualified.
• The rate will apply thereafter if the account is still open for the qualified customer.
• There is no expiration on the program, however, the discount may be canceled in the future by the City Council through the public utility rate modification process.
