Massachusetts S894 establishes a low-income sewer and water assistance program.

Massachusetts S894 amends the state's General Laws to create a low-income sewer and water assistance program. This program will help eligible homeowners pay their sewer and water bills. Eligibility is tied to the Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program. The program allows for up to 25% of a household's total annual water and sewer bill to be covered, with administrative costs not exceeding 10% of the appropriated funds. The program will use similar application and verification procedures as the Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program.
