Pa. families have more time to apply for LIHEAP assistance paying for heating bills

About 4,500 Philadelphia residents could lose access to their water, according to city officials — an 80% drop in potential water shutoffs compared to pre-pandemic times.

Utility customers applying for LIHEAP can now check a box that will allow their information to be shared with participating gas and electric utilities.

Tens of thousands of Philly water customers could be automatically enrolled in a discount program this year, while others may see their bills go up.
