Fairfax Water and each locality providing wastewater service within our service area (Fairfax County, City of
Falls Church, and City of Fairfax - the “Participating Localities”) are participating in Virginia’s COVID-19
Municipal Utility Relief Program (the “Utility Relief Program”).
Under the Utility Relief Program, utility customers who meet the following criteria will be eligible to receive
utility relief assistance that could lower the amounts you owe for water and/or wastewater services during
March 1, 2020 through November 1, 2021. Customer eligibility criteria are as follows:
The Customer’s water and wastewater bills for service between March 1, 2020 and November 1,
2021 are more than 30 days past due;
The Customer has experienced an economic hardship resulting directly or indirectly from the
COVID-19 pandemic; and
The Customer has not previously received CARES Act assistance for water or wastewater bills from any
other source. This may include, but is not limited to, assistance provided through the
Commonwealth’s Rebuild Virginia Grant Fund, the Fairfax County Non-Profit Sustainability Grant, or
the Fairfax County RISE Program. (Customers who have previously received assistance through the
COVID-19 Municipal Utility Relief Program may apply for assistance more than once).
In order to be considered for this assistance, you must complete, sign and submit the following Customer
Intake Form to Fairfax Water (or complete the Intake Form by phone) on or before November 1, 2021 with
