Rhode Islanders at risk of losing their water and wastewater service may now get some bill-payment assistance through the Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP).
LIHWAP can help pay for current or past due bills, prevent disconnection of water or wastewater services, and cover disconnection or reconnection fees.
