About this file
This document is a Q&A related to the Turnkey Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) issued by the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment. The LIHWAP funding is available to obligate through September 30, 2023, and must be fully expended by December 31, 2023. The state will prioritize providing assistance for restoration of services, prevention of disconnection, and full or partial payment of currently due bills. If sufficient funds remain as of October 1, 2022, Arkansas will provide benefits for currently due bills without arrearages by implementing a benefits payment model determined by household size and income level.
The state will require annual reporting from the contractor detailing information on the number of LIHWAP households served, including by assistance type. The state confirmed that "Rate Reduction" refers to the full or partial payment of a currently due bill, which will be implemented if funds remain after prioritizing households with disconnected services or pending disconnection.
