News Archive Posted on July 21, 2023

WSSC Water extended the Get Current temporary water bill amnesty program through August 31. This is the second extension of the popular financial assistance program, which helps eligible customers with a delinquent balance as of May 1, 2023, by providing bill credits and waiving 100 percent of late payment charges and turn-on fees. To date, more than 1,500 customers have signed up to take advantage of the benefits of the Get Current program – allowing WSSC Water to collect nearly $1.2 million (including pay plan commitments).

Eligible residential customers whose household income is below 150 percent of area median income* will receive the following benefits: 

  • Ten percent bill credit for payment in full of the delinquent amount and 100 percent of late payment charges and turn-on fees waived; and
  • Five percent bill credit for 50 percent payment of the delinquent amount and successful completion of a six-month payment plan. Upon completion of the payment plan, 100 percent of late payment charges and turn-on fees are waived, and a five percent bill credit is applied.
