EXPANDED UTILITY RATE RELIEF PROGRAM

The NTPUD Rate Relief Program has been expanded for 2025 to provide two options for water and wastewater customers.

Tier One – offers a monthly credit of $60 off a combined water and wastewater bill and $30 off a wastewater only bill for income-qualified customers.

  • Tier One is available for residential wastewater accounts, and single family residential and multifamily residential water accounts.
  • Tier One residents must maintain their primary residence within the District and also be actively enrolled in the Liberty Utilities CARES program at the same address as their NTPUD water and/or wastewater services.

Tier Two – offers a monthly credit of $30 off a combined water and wastewater bill and $15 off a wastewater only bill for income-qualified customers.

  • Tier Two is also available for residential wastewater accounts, and single family residential and multifamily residential water accounts.
  • Tier Two residents must maintain their primary residence within the District and maintain an annual combined household income before taxes that is not more than 300% of the current federal poverty limit. (See the chart below)

The Program also allows local renters and tenants who are non-account holders with the NTPUD to apply and encourages those who are interested to discuss the Program benefits with their landlord(s).

The Program will operate on a first-come, first-served model and is limited to the annual funding available.
