As part of Aqua’s continued commitment to affordability, qualifying customers can enroll in the company’s Customer Assistance Program

Aqua Pennsylvania, an Essential Utilities company, reminds customers in need of financial assistance to apply for monthly discounts on their water and wastewater bills through its Customer Assistance Program (CAP). CAP is a year-round program administered through the Dollar Energy Fund (DEF).

We encourage our customers in need to take advantage of this valuable program.”
