Low income Port Huron families to receive water bill relief

71738147

Outstanding water bills for about 700 low income Port Huron families will be paid thanks to State of Michigan COVID-19 relief funds. Port Huron City Manager James Freed says the city will be receiving just over $152,000 dollars to pay off 708 delinquent water and sewer bills. Many of the outstanding bills had totals nearing $1000. Data from the Food Assistance Bridge Card program was used to determine who can qualify. An additional $75,000 dollars has been set aside for those who don’t qualify for the program but still need utility assistance. That money is available through the Community Action Agency.
