Applicants must be or turn age 65 during the calendar year 2024 to be eligible for the discount. Applicants must also own and occupy the property in which the application is for. Both water and tax bills must be in the name of the applicant, or the spouse of the applicant. This discount will only apply to the owners of one, two, and three family dwellings.

The discount percentage will be based on previous year total gallon consumption. A 35% discount will be given to qualifying applicants who have used less than 20,000 gallons of water. A 20% discount will be given to qualifying applicants who have used 25,001-60,000 gallons of water. No discount will be given to those who have consumed more than 60,000 gallons of water.
