Water shut-off prevention assistance available

[November 17, 2010]  "Don't wait! Call today!"

That phrase might sound like just another commercial for a retailer during the holiday season.  But, in fact, it is a plea from Rebecca Van Nydeggen, local director for The Salvation Army, for folks to request assistance on their past-due water bills before residential water service is actually shut off for nonpayment.

The Salvation Army is the agent for Illinois American Water for the "H2O Help for Others" program in Logan County. Individuals or families who reside in Logan County and are facing shut-off of their Illinois American Water residential service due to financial hardship may apply for supplemental assistance to help pay their water bills. Household eligibility is determined through the application process available at The Salvation Army Keest Center, 307 N. Kickapoo St. in Lincoln.

Program assistance awarded may not cover a recipient's entire water bill. The assistance is available only to customers with Illinois American Water residential accounts in their own names (not for third parties).

For more information on the H20 Help for Others program in Logan County or to schedule an appointment at the Keest Center, call 217-732-7890.
