- New Jersey American Water promotes H2O Help to Others, payment arrangements, installment plans, budget billing, medical-need certification, and seasonal protections. Current company material describes grants up to $500 per year and discounts on the monthly service fee; eligibility and award levels must be confirmed with the administrator.
- State and federal aid connection
- The utility directs customers to New Jersey DCAid at https://dcaid.dca.nj.gov/en-US/are-you-eligible, NJ 211 at 211 or 1-877-652-1148, and NJ SHARES/H2O at 1-877-652-9426. Customers should call the utility before the due date for payment arrangements and self-certify qualifying protections.
