Department of Public Works - Senior Citizen Water Discount Program

RESPECT AND HONOR FOR BALTIMORE’S SENIOR CITIZENS…

means making sure that they are not overly-burdened when they are on a fixed income in their golden years.

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.

WHO CAN APPLY?

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:

  1. The applicant must be a City of Baltimore resident who receives a water/sewer bill directly from the City.
  2. The principal resident must be age 65 or older.
  3. The combined gross household income must be $25,000 or less.
  4. The applicant must certify that he/she is the property owner-of-record with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation, or provide a lease showing his/her responsibility for paying water/sewer charges at that property.

WHAT IS THE DISCOUNT?

Those who qualify receive a 30% discount on their water and sewer rates charged on each quarterly bill.

HOW CAN I APPLY?

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.

PLEASE NOTE: Only one water bill account per household is eligible to receive this discount.
