COVID-19 Municipal Utility Relief
The Municipal Utility Relief Program aims to help City of Williamsburg residents and small-business owners facing past-due water and sewer bills from March 1, 2020 through Oct. 31, 2021 due to COVID-19. The funds can only be used to provide direct assistance to customer accounts over 30 days in arrears during the covered period; however, the grant prioritizes assistance to customers with accounts more than 60 days in arrears.
This funding can be awarded more than once per household (for residential) or per account holder and their successors (for nonresidential). Disbursements will be made until the funds are depleted.
At this time all funds have been depleted, the City is no longer accepting applications.
Do you live in James City County? Call 757-253-6800 for questions about your water and sewer service and bills.
