Aqua Pennsylvania Urges Customers to Seek 2025 Water and Wastewater Bill Assistance

Aqua Pennsylvania, an Essential Utilities company, is reminding customers to apply for the 2025 Customer Assistance Program (CAP), which offers monthly discounts on water and wastewater bills to eligible customers. The program, administered through the Dollar Energy Fund (DEF), is designed to provide financial assistance to low-income households struggling to afford their utility bills.

The CAP program is a year-round initiative that aims to help Aqua customers who are facing financial challenges. Eligible customers can receive monthly discounts on their water and wastewater bills, making it easier for them to maintain access to essential services. The program is open to residential water and/or wastewater customers of Aqua, with eligibility determined based on household income.

To apply for the CAP program, customers can use DEF's income calculator to check their eligibility status and reference the income guidelines provided. They can then call 1-888-282-6816, visit www.hardshiptools.org/MyApp for detailed information and application instructions, or visit several community-based organizations who are available to assist customers wishing to enroll in the program.
