DeKalb County and Urban League Launch the Water Rate Assistance Program (W.R.A.P.) 💧

DeKalb County and the Urban League of Greater Atlanta (ULGA) are working together to make sure water stays within reach for our most vulnerable residents. The new Water Rate Assistance Program (W.R.A.P.) is designed to help eligible low-income households manage their water and sewer bills, even as a necessary 10% rate increase takes effect.

This year’s adjustment is part of a long-term plan to strengthen and modernize DeKalb’s aging water and sewer infrastructure, with a 10% rate increase scheduled each January for the next decade. These investments will help reduce water main breaks, prevent costly service disruptions, and ensure safe, clean water for decades to come.

How W.R.A.P. Works: WRAP limits eligible households’ water and sewer bills to no more than 4.5% of their annual income, a level below the affordability thresholds recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the United Nations. If a household’s current bill is already below that percentage, they will not be eligible.

To qualify, residents must: (1) Be a DeKalb County water and sewer account holder (2) Have a household income at or below 60% of HUD’s 2025 Adjusted Home Income Limits for the Atlanta metro area (see table at DeKalbWaterAssist.org) (3) Provide verifiable documentation such as a tax return, W-2, or Form 1099

The Urban League of Greater Atlanta will administer the program, review applications, and determine eligibility.

Apply Today! Residents can apply for W.R.A.P. starting August 15. Website: DeKalbWaterAssist.org | Phone: 404-371-6261 | Email: [email protected]
