CARES Utility Relief Funds

The amended budget for the Commonwealth of Virginia, signed by Governor Northam on November 18, 2020, allocated $100 million of federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds towards relief for utility customers whose accounts are in arrears (Cares Utility Relief Funds).

The City of Hopewell (Hopewell Water Renewal) is anticipating an award of funds through the CARES Utility Relief Funds to provide assistance to City customers for their past due wastewater bills. The funds offer relief to customers who have fallen behind on wastewater bill payments due to a loss or reduction in income due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
