Keeping essential water and sewer services affordable — especially for our most vulnerable residents — is a priority for SAWS.
It’s why SAWS Uplift exists. This income-based assistance program helps ease the burden of paying monthly water bills for those who qualify.
Uplift recipients are required to complete a new application every three years. Starting in April, SAWS will begin contacting them with a reminder that it’s time to reapply at saws.org/myaccount.
Need in-person help with your application? SAWS will be at locations throughout the city in May to guide you through the process.
You must bring proof of income. Accepted documents include:
- Income tax return (2022).
- W-2 forms.
- Paycheck stub (last 30 days).
- 1099 form.
- Social Security award letter.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI) award letter.
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)award letter.
- Retirement, Survivors and Disability Insurance(RSDI) award letter.
- Veterans benefits letter.
- Unemployment benefits letter.
If you’re not currently receiving assistance through SAWS Uplift, visit saws.org/uplift to see if you or a loved one qualify.
