  Program Benefits--Can Federal energy assistance help me with my water bill?
  Question
  Does the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) help pay for water and sewer utility bills? Can LIHEAP assist with any other utility costs? 
  Answer
 

LIHEAP funds can be used to help with electric and natural gas utility bills.

Generally, LIHEAP funds may not be used to pay water bills. One exception is when water is used for air conditioning, such as in an evaporative cooler that is used in hot, dry climates. LIHEAP grantee agencies may decide to authorize the use of LIHEAP help for water bills in such cases, but are not required to do so.
