Sewer, Stormwater, and Water Financial Assistance Application

The City of Portland offers sewer, stormwater, and water bill discount program for all eligible households receiving water and/or sanitary sewer service as a direct customer of the Portland Water Bureau or Bureau of Environmental Services.

Eligibility Requirements

Property must be a single-family home that receives sewer or water services from the City of Portland.

Applicant must live at the property and be directly responsible for the payment of the sewer/stormwater/water bill.

Applicants that have an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) on their property with one water meter that serves both the primary home and the ADU, are not eligible to participate in the discount program.

Applicant must meet the established income guidelines by submitting proof of total gross income for all adult members of the household. Gross monthly household income for those 18 and older determines eligibility. Gross income means the amount of money before taxes or deductions.

If approved for the bill discount, you will receive the discount for up to 2 years and will begin with your next sewer, stormwater and water bill. This discount does not automatically renew. To continue, you will need to reapply after 2 years. It is your responsibility to notify us immediately if your income changes and you no longer qualify.
