Project Can Help Families In Need Pay ECUA Bills

January 22, 2012

An assistance program is providing a little help for ECUA customers that have trouble paying their water, wastewater or sanitation bills.

Project EUAP (Escambia Utility Assistance Program) was created in 1988 to assist families that are experiencing financial difficulties. The program is made possible through the voluntary contributions if ECUA customers; there 1,545 ECUA customers that were contributing to the program as of November 2011.

Project EUAP offers assistance to the elderly, the disabled, and to crisis victims, individuals who have a financial circumstance due to a medical emergency, death in the family, or any other serious situation. All contributions in Project EUAP are used for emergency relief and never to pay administrative expenses. The program is administered by the Community Action Program, Escambia County Council on Aging, and the Salvation Army.

ECUA customers can participate in the program by having at least one dollarĀ  included on their monthly utility bill, or making a one-time contribution.

For more information, to contribute or to sign up as a participant in Project EUAP, visit ecua.org or call (850) 476-0480.
