Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP):
Are you or someone you know at risk of losing water service at their home? Help is available for Pennsylvanians who need help with water bills or who may lose water service. The Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) is a new, temporary assistance program created by the American Rescue Plan Act.
​
LIHWAP can help households that are in emergency situations maintain essential water access in situations such as:
-
Past-due water bills;
-
Termination of water service; or,
-
Threat of termination of water service in the next 60 days.
​
To qualify, applicants must meet income requirements and have a crisis situation with water service. Learn more about LIHWAP and find out if your water service is participating at www.dhs.pa.gov/waterhelp.

​
Automated Clearing House (ACH):
Customers wishing to have payments directly withdrawn from a bank account must complete a direct withdrawal form and attach a voided check when returning it to the Utilities Billing Department.
Download a direct withdrawal form here.
Forms can be delivered via mail, in-person or emailed to contact-us@indianaboro.com.
​
Bank Checks:
We recommend to residents who opt to pay via bank checks to schedule their deposit at least 7-10 business days before the last business day of the month. Many banks employ third-party companies for this service, and delays in check delivery may result in late fees.
To ensure timely payments, we encourage paying online, using PSN’s mobile app, or signing up for direct debit (ACH). These methods offer the simplest and most reliable way to pay your utility bill on time.
​
Secure Payment Processing:
To ensure the highest level of security for your payments, we utilize Payment Service Network (PSN) as our trusted payment processor. PSN has been certified to meet the stringent security requirements of the credit card industry.
