Fresno County residents can get up to $2k for overdue water bills
A new Fresno EOC program is offering as much as $2,000 to help low-income residents pay past-due water and sewer bills. But you need to act quickly to receive the one-time grants, which will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. The program ends in August 2023. Fresno EOC officials say the grants are for households that are in danger of losing or have lost their water services. According to the State Water Resources Control Board, about half a million Californians have had water shutoffs since 2019 due to nonpayment.
