Offers residential sewer service for essential demands at a special rate or with discounts (state-level)

At the state level, this metric shows the percentage of sewer utilities that offer a special rate or discounts for low-volume residential customers and/or discounts for low-income seniors and customers with disabilities in order to improve household affordability. Data is self-reported via utility survey.

Note: Municipal Utility Authorities have explicit authority to offer discounts for low-income seniors and customers with disabilities. However, their authority to offer low-income discounts more generally is ambiguous. A yes/no response should be read with these legal limitations in mind. See the financial assistance metric which describes other forms of customer assistance.

*There is no value for this metric yet due to insufficient data. Please see the corresponding system-level metric for the data that has been collected thus far.
