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.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Residential customers who discover and repair a hidden leak may apply through EWSU’s Leak Adjustment initiative. The official site provides an application and directs customers to 812-436-7846, but the reviewed page does not expose the complete formula or cap; submit account, leak, repair, and affected-bill evidence for staff review.
- Utility assistance program
- The Bill Relief Program provides income-qualified customers a $30 monthly credit for one year. The Water Bill Assistance Program through the Community Action Program of Evansville can provide one-time help every 12 months up to $250 for customers in disconnect status or shut off no more than 12 months.
- State and federal aid connection
- EWSU directs customers to CAPE and local social-service/church agencies. The reviewed pages do not identify a dedicated federal LIHWAP portal; ask CAPE about current state and federal referrals.
