About the Program

County Public Utilities residential water and/or sewer customers whose gross annual income is equal to or less than 130% of the federal poverty level for the household size, with assets less than $110,000, and the household’s total available on-hand cash resources must be less than $2,200.

The County establishes the monthly credit amount for water and/or sewer service during the annual budget process. The available credit in Fiscal Year 2023 is $11 per month for Brunswick County residential water customers, $15 per month for Brunswick County residential sewer customers, and $26 per month for Brunswick County residential customers who have both water and sewer service from Brunswick County.

The monthly credit may not be larger than the actual customer bill for the month.

The Brunswick County Water and Sewer Assistance Program will require Brunswick County residential utility customers to make annual applications that will provide assistance through a fiscal year. Brunswick County residential utility customers must reapply annually, and applications will be discontinued when funds are exhausted. Applications for the Fiscal Year 2023 program will be available with Utility Billing in Building I at the Brunswick County Government Complex.
