NDO still scheduling appointments for Water Assistance Program

Ninth District Opportunity still has funds available for its water assistance program.

According to Ninth District Opportunity’s Community Resource Coordinator Paula Duley, anyone age 60 or older, households with a child 5-years-old or younger, or if your water has been disconnected can apply for the water assistance program.

She says you can call the Ninth District Opportunity Office at 706-886-0211 to sign up for an appointment.

She adds that this is for anyone who hasn’t already received assistance through the program since January.

Duley says the local Ninth District Opportunity received $270,000 in funding for the water assistance program.

So far, they’ve paid $117,000 in water bills.

Again, if every member of your household is age 60 or older, or you have a child 5-years-old or younger, or if your water has been disconnected you can apply for the water assistance program through the Ninth District Opportunity.

To sign up for an appointment call 706-886-0211.
