Arizona American Water Promotes Low Income Payment Program for Sun City

Posted on: Tuesday, 23 December 2008, 15:27 CST

SUN CITY, Ariz., Dec. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Water is one of life's essentials, perhaps something most of us take for granted. Unfortunately, some people worry they could be without it. Across Arizona, there are individuals and families who need help paying their water bills. That is why Arizona American Water launched its Low Income Payment Program for residents of Sun City.

"Many of us here, including myself, have family in Sun City who are dealing with the challenges of budgeting on a fixed income. I want to make sure seniors that are eligible for this program, know about it, and take advantage of it," said Paul Townsley, President of Arizona American Water. "Especially during the holidays is a good time to remind people of the extra help that's out there for those who need it."

Arizona American Water's low income payment program provides aid to its most economically challenged seniors in Sun City, 65 years or older, through rate reductions amounting to approximately 75% of a customer's monthly service charge. In order to qualify customers must earn less than $14,000 annually for a two-person household, and less than $10,400 for an individual. If you make less than this amount in a year and are over the age of 65, then you are eligible to participate.

Customers who believe that they qualify should call Arizona American Water at 1-800-383-0834 to enroll in the program, or stop by our local office at 15626 N. Del Webb Blvd., Sun City, AZ 85351.
