Coordinated by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, the region’s water utilities have come together to raise funds to help families in crisis. The Hampton Roads H2O – Help to Others – Program was re-launched this past November. H2O is a community-based, nonprofit, 501(c)3 program that assists people in crisis through the generosity of donations. Through H2O, families or individuals that are in danger of losing residential water service because of a family crisis can receive one-time financial assistance to pay their local public utility and/or HRSD bill. Donation envelopes are being included in citizen’s November or December HRSD bills. The current donation period runs until January, and funds will be available for eligible citizens in February.
