The Low-Income Household Water Assistance (LIHWA) Program is designed to provide low-income households with assistance for their drinking water and wastewater services costs. Households who are at or below 60% state median income (SMI) are income eligible for the program. Required income documentation is similar to that of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

 

 

To be eligible for water assistance, a household's income must be at or below 6​​0% of Oregon's median income. See the table below. The program bases these income levels on household income and household size.
