The cost of providing water to almost two million people each day is directly tied to the cost of fuel, electricity and federal mandates.
This means that some of our citizens with limited incomes are finding it harder to make ends meet. That is why Baltimore City is offering assistance to those who may be having problems paying their water bills.
Please contact your nearest Baltimore Community Action Center for more information on how we may be able to help you.”
You must pledge to make consistent payments on your unpaid and current balance. You will receive a credit of $179.00.

It is all too true that making ends meet can be a problem and a worry for those who have given so much of themselves and who should be enjoying their retirement. Instead of stress we need to give back to those who raised us, taught us and protected us. So many seniors are still giving through mentoring, volunteering and sharing their joy of life. Now we can give back through our LOW INCOME SENIOR CITIZEN WATER DISCOUNT PROGRAM.
Homeowners and tenants (whose lease holds them responsible for paying the water bill), can apply each year for the discount if they meet the following criteria:
Those who qualify receive a 39% discount on their water, stormwater and sewer rates charged on each quarterly bill.
Eligible senior citizens may apply at any of the Senior Community Centers listed on this brochure, or may call 311 or (410) 396-5398 to obtain an application, or can download it by clicking here.
PLEASE NOTE: Only one water bill account per household is eligible to receive this discount.
In order to prove eligibility you will need to submit the following along with your application:
