HWW Customers Can Now Apply for $300 Reimbursement for Filtration, Other Costs
Housatonic Water Works customers who have paid for the purchase/installation of water filtration systems, bottled water and laundry-related expenses may now apply for a reimbursement of up to $300 per household.
The state has set aside $250,000 for this reimbursement fund, to be administered by the town. The application can be found here.
To receive reimbursement (one per household) HWW customers must provide:
· Documentation of eligible costs, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2018.
· Completed application paperwork must be dropped off at the Selectboard office at Town Hall.
If after six months funding remains available, the Selectboard will revisit the issue and consider providing additional relief to approved applicants.
The program will remain in place until funds are exhausted.
Applicants can expect reimbursement within 90 days.
