How much will I save?
The grant from ALCOSAN's Clean Water Assistance Fund is $40 every three months. The credit will be applied to your account by the agency that bills you for sewage treatment - for example, these bills may come from Pittsburgh Water & Sewer Authority, Jordan Tax Service, Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority, your municipality or some other agency. The credits will automatically appear every three months, even if you are billed monthly, bimonthly or quarterly.
How do I apply?
You can sign up by phone or through a local social service agency, but the easiest starting point is to call Dollar Energy Fund at 1-888-282-6816. If you would like to sign up in person, Dollar Energy Fund can help you find the closest agency to you.
You will need to provide a copy of your water/sewage bill, which includes ALCOSAN charges, so take one with you. You must provide the Social Security number of the rate payer and proof of your household’s monthly income. If you already are eligible for an assistance program through another utility, you can use that approval to verify your eligibility.
