Utility Assistance

Utility Assistance

The Utility Assistance Program assists with energy and water utility payments. 

RPMC’s Energy Assistance Program focuses on meeting the home energy needs of low-income individuals and families through energy utility payment assistance and education on controlling energy costs. Clients must meet income eligibility in order to qualify.

The Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program provides water utility payment assistance to low-income households. If your water/wastewater services have been disconnected or are pending disconnection, you may be eligible to receive assistance on your water bill and waste water fees.
