Some customers with Illinois American Water could get up to $1,500 to help pay off past due water and wastewater bills through the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program. LIHWAP is a federally funded program that provides bill payment assistance to help low-income families who have been disconnected, are facing disconnection, or have past due bills.
Residents in the Streator and Ransom areas can sign up for the program at the Salvation Army of Streator. The program is available until August of 2023.
