Philly offers water bill discounts to charities, nonprofits

Philadelphia's Charity Water Rates and Charges Discount program offers a 25% discount on water bills for eligible nonprofits and charitable organizations. This initiative supports schools, religious institutions, and community gardens, helping them manage operational costs and focus on their mission. Organizations must meet the city’s wage requirements and submit relevant documentation, such as service schedules or website information, to qualify.
