The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission Water (WSSC) plans to resume turning off service to residential customers with overdue accounts on July 5. WSSC currently has about 83,000 accounts past due and owe a total of about $53 million. The vast majority of the past due accounts are residential customers.
WSSC only disconnects water-service when all other reasonable alternatives have been exhausted, including efforts to connect every income-constrained customer with available financial assistance. WSSC Water offers several financial assistance programs to help customers get current with their bill. Information about customer assistance programs may be found at wsscwater.com/assistance.
