ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Virginia American Water recognizes that customers may be facing financial challenges related to the government shutdown. The company offers several payment plans and assistance programs to support customers with their water and/or wastewater bill.
“Virginia American Water is sensitive to the fact that some of our customers may be impacted by the government shutdown,” said Charlie Piekanski, Vice President of Operations, Virginia American Water. “Our goal is to provide every customer with safe, clean, and reliable drinking water and wastewater services without placing further strain on their finances. We offer a variety of programs designed to ease financial stress and encourage customers to explore these assistance options.”
Available customer assistance programs include:
- H2O Help to Others: Our customer assistance program offers grants of up to $500 per year for customers who qualify.
- Payment Arrangements: If customers are unable to pay their bill by the due date, they can visit MyWater to review payment plan options or contact Virginia American Water’s customer service center before the due date to work with them to determine payment arrangements that may be available.
- Budget Billing: A free service that is available to eligible residential customers. The program makes managing your cash flow easier by providing predictable monthly payments and avoiding seasonal spikes that may be difficult to pay when not planned for in advance.
