This program was created in 2021 to help pay for water and wastewater bills. After helping more than 1.1 million households across the country maintain or restore water service, funding for the program expired at the end of Fiscal Year 2023, ending a critical lifeline for families in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWater and sewer bills are rising more than twice as quickly as inflation and increasing faster than energy bills, medical expenses, and household incomes,\u201d <strong>wrote the Senators.<\/strong> \u201c&#8230;The need for low-income household water assistance is just as important to public health and economic development as other basic needs such as home energy and nutrition, which have benefitted from Federal support for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs Congress works towards authorizing a permanent water assistance program to safeguard water affordability, we urge the Committee to provide continued funding for LIHWAP so that we may continue to provide critical water assistance to our most vulnerable children and families and ensure that those who need the help in paying their water bills are able to do so,\u201d <strong>they concluded.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Full text of the letter is available <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/FINAL-Quill-FY24-Low-Income-Household-Water-Assistance-LIHWAP-1.12.24.pdf\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has been a leader in fighting to lower costs for hardworking Nevadans.
