Henry water customers help needy
Henry County Water Authority contributed thousands of dollars in 2022 to help fellow customers in need.
A simple program that allows water service customers in Henry County to help their neighbors in need raised a significant sum in 2022 for that purpose.
Officials reported that $16,430 was given during the year through its Charitable Assistance Program by more than 3,000 customers who rounded up their monthly water bills or submitted small one-time donations.
The HCWA also provided information and referrals to customers who could possibly qualify for a federal assistance program that helps low-income households pay for drinking water and wastewater services for their homes.
Funding for this program comes from the American Rescue Plan Act and other legislation designed for this purpose.
