Collections and disconnections will resume this summer.
To read more about how this may affect you, please read our letter sent to customers with past-due accounts.
Do you need financial assistance with your past-due balances?
To apply for assistance, contact the Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason & Thurston Counties (CAC) staff. The CAC oversees applications for distribution of funds for a variety of assistance grants and programs, including the Low-Income Home Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) and the City of Lacey funds, both of which are directly related to residential water/sewer assistance.
For your convenience, the City of Lacey has partnered with CAC to have CAC staff in person at City Hall on the dates and times listed below to help you easily access these services. The City of Lacey’s Utility Billing office will also have a supply of CAC assistance applications available for those who fall within the qualifying guidelines (see below). There may be other programs available through the CAC you may be eligible to receive. The CAC staff will also be able to provide in-person guidance concerning other services at City Hall on the below dates. The City’s top priority is to provide access to services and support that will prevent collections and/or disconnection of water service for our customers.
