Kauai residents who receive sewer service from the county can apply for the 2008 Sewer Credit Program. Qualified applicants will receive a $20 credit which will be applied to their sewer bill each month, amounting to a savings of $240 for the year.

Those who currently receive a county sewer credit must re-apply for the program to be eligible for the credit next year.

The deadline to apply for the 2008 Sewer Credit Program is Dec. 31.

To qualify for the credit, residential sewer users must meet the following criteria:

  • Applicant must be receiving residential sewer service from the county.

  • Applicant's total adjusted gross income must be below $40,000 for calendar year 2006.

  • Applicant may not be receiving sewer assistance payments from any organization.

  • Only one residence may be claimed for the credit.

  • The dwelling unit being claimed must be the applicant's principle residence.

  • Applicant's sewer utility payments must be current including any sewer payment plan.

    Applications have been mailed out, but can also be downloaded from the county's website at www.kauai.gov.

    Completed applications must be hand delivered to the Wastewater Management office by Dec. 31 or mailed to the Department of Finance, 4444 Rice St., Suite 280, Lihu'e, HI 96766, postmarked no later than Dec. 31.
