The rebate program offers low-income households with seniors (65 years or older) or a person living there with a disability $0.66/day approx. $20 off their monthly bill

The retrofit program is also offered to low-income households. It offers support to obtain an efficiency audit to identify specific improvements to help lower water costs, like replacing old toilets, showerheads, faucets, and aerators. The program is on a first-come-first-serve basis, but you could have a few things covered that need to be upgraded! This program is also offered to those renting as long a landlord consent form accompanies the application.
