I need assistance with getting my lights and water back on. MY bill is currently 190.00 to get back on but due to transportation I have been unemployed and the weather is getting really cold. Please I need help.
I have my little brother with me from time to time for me and my girlfriend to watch and I don't want him to be cold or bored because of no TV or heat. We can't even cook we have to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because we have no water. Please and Thank You. I'm trying as hard as I can and I am doing everything to make this work.

Here is our general listing of all electric and water programs.

But if the power will be turned off in 8 days or so, you are short on time and need to apply now.

Who cares about Christmas if you can't pay your rent and may be homeless. You need to get your priorities right. As far as programs in Hillsborough County, there are many you can try. There are also government resources for paying light bills in New Hampshire. Locate options here. http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html ... ance1.html

I'm a disabled, 62 year old, female resident in Tacoma, WA. I am very low income (SSI) in need of financial assistance to pay Utility bill as well as water costs. I am one month behind so my bill is quite high, nearly $400! I rely on fairly expensive space heaters as my landlord won't or is unable to fix the heaters in my rented house. I have received assistance from MDC for utility bills in the past. This community has been very kind, generous, and compassionate toward me. I am appreciative beyond my ability to express. Thank you!

Debts due to both water and electric companies

I have finally found a residence and I am on housing, but I have debts with both the gas and electric/water companies. I have started to pick the pieces of my life up and put them back together. I took care of my mother for two years prior to her death in December 2012 then in August that same year I had my first fire.
I never have been able to quite get up to where I can pay those back amounts and I would really appreciate if someone or some entity could help. I also have three teenage children. I really hate to have to ask for help , I try to figure things out but this time I just can't. I am sixty years old and in that fifty years I have never experienced such horrible luck as I have had in the last two to three years. Thank you for your time,

Did you just ask the apartment manager? Also, why are both of you unemployed. The job market in Washington is extremely strong. You just need to ask for proof of the utility bill, then you can look into applying for assistance for it. There are a wide number of utility assistance programs in Washington.

Water bill assistance is very rare. There are some statewide resources in California you can try, but don't cross your fingers. Also, maybe ask the Yolo County provider for a payment plan, and find other water bill help in California.

Hello, Can you tell me if Lake county, CA has the H20 program available for assistance or discounts on water bills please? The water company had no idea what I was talking about. A friend of mine from another county told me about this program. Thank you very much for your time.

I really need help paying my water and light bills. My husbands Check was very short this month due to no work last month. We only had just enough to pay rent. Were not going to be able to have Christmas for our kids that’s how bad things are for our family. We would be blessed to get help to pay some of our water and light bill.

Well, water bill help is very rare. But there are some places you can try in Minneapolis. More likely is some type of funds for your other utility bills, and that may be LIHEAP or something similar. We also doubt anyone will assist with an $800 bill as well, as that is showing some type of mismanagement or something you are not telling us. That is a serious bill. Regardless, Find Hennepin County financial aid programs.

Sorry no funding here just a wealth of resource information. I would start by calling your electric company and see if you can work something out with them, there are payment plan options most everywhere. In addition call 211 for more resources.

There seem to be no one in Yolo county that can help with a water/sewer bill, no assistance at all. If you could help with a resource or just help that would be awesome. I do not know what else to do.
Sincerely,

I am in desperate need of assistance paying my Beaumont / Cherry Valley water district bill as well as some other electricity expenses. I had let some one stay at my house while I was away simply because she had given me a sad story that her family kicked her out and she has a baby well I gave in/fell for it. The woman agreed to pay bills if I didn't charge rent; sounds fair right? The house is in my parents name unfortunately I am so financially strapped I have been out of work for almost a year (4/13). I do seek employment and do pull off spot jobs "praise God". If there is any way anyone can provide me with any resources I would be so dreadful. I arrived home end of March to estimated $300 electricity Bill. I got that in payments so got power. The $573.00 is due for the water bill. Thank God for good people helping me out showering bringing me water jugs etc.

I'm in a desperation situation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My water bill has reached 824 dollars, which was something I didn't know until last week, and the water company is shutting off my water on the 15th. I'm in a low income family and seriously need help. Is there anyone I can go to? Please? I have three children living with me and I have no way of paying my lights or this bill.
