Water Residential Assistance Program (WRAP)

Wayne Metro WRAP

The Water Residential Assistance Program (WRAP) is a two year program that provides funding to eligible, low-income homeowners to assist with water bills, water conservation, and self-sufficiency initiatives. 

See below for service areas and more information on how to apply!

Wayne Metro helped me to pay down my $3,000 water, and instead of my monthly bill being $140 and higher, it is now only $46 per month or lower, which is very affordable.

It was a true blessing that I learned about the WRAP Program in 2015 when it first rolled-out. Wayne Metro is a lifesaver.
