Bill overview
This bill aims to provide lower water and sewage rates to residents in small West Virginia communities (with fewer than 1000 residents) who meet specific income requirements. It allows privately owned water and sewer utilities to offer reduced rates to customers receiving Social Security Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), TANF-Unemployed Parent Program (TANF-UP), or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, particularly those aged 60 or older, or residing in small communities. The commission will oversee the implementation and ensure fair rates are applied.
