Provider-specific findings
Relief research for this provider
The notes below may document a route, rule, or explicit public-information limit. General preparation steps are not represented as utility policy.
- Emergency reporting route
- (209) 368-5735, the City’s Utility Service/Public Works emergency line for water-system problems, leaks, and service emergencies. Public Works also lists (209) 333-6706 for routine water-program questions.
- Utility assistance program
- The City’s published Payment Assistance programs are for Lodi Electric Utility rather than the water or wastewater charges: SHARE provides a 30% electric discount for qualifying low-income households, the fixed-income program provides a 5% electric discount for eligible residents over 62, the medical program provides a 25% electric discount for qualifying medical needs, and CARE provides qualifying electric-bill grants up to $162 once per six-month period. The accessible City materials do not identify a water-rate discount, senior water credit, disabled-veteran water reduction, or water-assistance cap.
- State and federal aid connection
- Lodi’s payment-assistance page links low-income customers to California LIHEAP and San Joaquin County assistance resources, but the published programs are described as electric assistance and do not state that the City automatically processes water credits. Customers seeking water-bill help should check California’s Department of Community Services and Development assistance portal at https://www.csd.ca.gov/find-assistance and ask Lodi Finance at (209) 333-6717 whether any current LIHWAP or county charity award can be posted to a Lodi water account. No City-specific water-aid application or charity bill-credit workflow is published in the accessible 2026 materials.
