Boulder Creek, CA, July 15, 2020 — The San Lorenzo Valley Water District is implementing a low-income assistance program for up to 208 qualifying residential water customers starting July 15.

Income-eligible customers who currently receive a discounted rate through PG&E’s CARE program may be eligible to receive $10 off their monthly water bill.

To see if your household qualifies, answer these three questions:

• Yes, I pay SLVWD for an individually metered residential water service AND

• Yes, I receive a discounted rate through PG&E’s CARE program for the same address and in the same name AND

• Yes, I live at the property that receives these services and the SLVWD bill is in my name

If you said yes to all three of the required qualifications, you may apply by doing the following:

• Complete a web form available here https://www.slvwd.com/customer-service/webforms/rate-assistance-program

• Attach your most recent PG&E bill showing participation in the CARE program for the same address as the water bill.

• If you are a tenant, attach a copy of your lease agreement. If you do not have a lease agreement, contact Customer Service so SLVWD can send the owner a verification form.
