$9 million available to qualifying Kansas households<\/strong>
\nKansans may apply for the program beginning Dec. 1<\/p>\n

(Topeka, KS) \u2013 Kansas households adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic may benefit from a new program to help restore or prevent disconnection of drinking water and wastewater services.
\nThe Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) is the administrating agency for the Emergency Water Assistance Program (EWAP), a new temporary federal program authorized by the American Rescue Plan of 2021 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program\u2019s sole focus is to restore or prevent disconnection of water to Kansas households,\u201d DCF Secretary Laura Howard said. \u201cKansas was awarded $9 million to support hardworking Kansas households who have gotten behind on their water bills because of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the funding is exhausted, the program will end. Households may apply only one for the program and it is separate from other DCF assistance programs such as the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP).<\/p>\n

Applications for EWAP will be available Dec. 1. Kansans are encouraged to visit\u00a0www.dcf.ks.gov\/EWAP<\/a>\u00a0for information about qualifying and applying for the program. They may also contact their local DCF Service Center,\u00a0 Office Locator Map – Services (ks.gov)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An EWAP qualifying Kansas household:<\/p>\n

\n
Currently disconnected from drinking water and\/or wastewater services or have received a disconnection notice.<\/li>\n
At least one adult household member must be responsible for drinking water and\/or wastewater costs incurred at the primary residence payable to either the landlord or to the water utility vendor.<\/li>\n
At least one household member must be a US citizen or meet the lawful residency requirements.<\/li>\n
Combined gross income equal to or less than 150% of Federal Poverty Level (FPL).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
An important partner for the successful distribution of the funding are water utilities companies in Kansas. \u201cPublic water utility partnership is vital to the success of the water assistance program,\u201d said Howard. \u201cDCF is required to pay the public water utility provider, not the household. The sooner the utility company is in the system, the faster payment will be made on behalf of the household by DCF.\u201d<\/p>\n
Water partners are asked to submit a signed water vendor agreement and tax documents that can be found on www.dcf.ks.gov\/EWAP.<\/a><\/p>\n
