Evansville, Ind. – The Bill Relief Program launched by Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) on July 1 helps qualifying customers save on their water bill each month. To date, 1,715 customers have applied and are receiving program funding – a $10 monthly credit on their utility bill for one year. Relief funds are still available, and EWSU encourages eligible customers to fill out the simple online application found at ewsu.com/BillRelief.

EWSU customers who reside in City limits with an active water account and have a household income of $50,000 or less may qualify for assistance.
What the Bill Relief Program Provides
