LIHWAP is a one-time program that was created and funded under the Consolidated Appropriations Act and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). It provides funds to assist low income households with water and wastewater bills. Like LIHEAP, applications are accepted online at OKDHSLive.org.

The non-emergency water bill pay enrollment period, which is open now, provides assistance with a one-time payment per fiscal year to the public drinking water or waste water participating provider for the household.
The water crisis program provides assistance with a one-time payment per fiscal year for:
households who meet the income and resource guidelines outlined in the LIHEAP program and
have a verifiable water crisis, disconnected service or will be disconnected within 72 hours, and
the public drinking water or waste water company is a participating provider.

In order to receive LIHWAP, the public drinking water or waste water company must be a participating provider.

Priority will be given to households with elderly, disabled or with children under 5.
