If you’re facing financial difficulty you may be eligible for vouchers through the Payment Assistance Scheme. The scheme is available to customers who are responsible for paying for water usage charges and that can provide an original copy of a Shoalhaven Water Account.
Payment vouchers are equivalent to $25 and are issued for use towards the water usage component of your Water Account. This scheme is funded solely by Shoalhaven Water and is designed to assist customers in the short term only.
