The Ohio Department of Development and Mahoning-Youngstown Community Action Partnership (MYCAP) will help income-eligible Ohioans with water and wastewater assistance. The Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program provides eligible Ohioans assistance paying water and wastewater bills. The program runs from October 27st, 2021 until September 30th, 2022. MYCAP began processing these applications through the HEAP department on January 18, 2022.
To apply for the program, you must have a disconnection notice, need to restore service, need a payment to transfer service or to establish new service. Schedule through the IVR line at 330-778-2992 by selecting the Winter Crisis option. Your appointment will currently be a phone interview which is required to receive the assistance and inform you of how to supply the needed documentation. A water and or waste water application can be completed along with a Winter Crisis appointment.
