Establishes "Household Water Assistance Program"; appropriates $75 million.

This bill establishes the Household Water Assistance Program to provide financial assistance for water, sewer, and stormwater utility costs to low-income households in New Jersey. It appropriates $75 million from American Rescue Plan Act funds to provide direct assistance, water efficiency measures, plumbing repairs, and debt relief for unpaid water bills. Eligible households include those with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, those receiving certain government benefits like SNAP or LIHEAP, or those experiencing temporary financial hardship. The program will be administered by the Department of Community Affairs with input from a newly established advisory group and will coordinate with existing assistance programs. The goal is to make water services affordable and prevent disconnections for households unable to pay their bills.
