Are there any discounts or programs available for low-income residents?

Yes, there are discounts and programs available for low-income residents in the City of Calexico. We understand the importance of affordable utility services for all members of our community. The Low Income Rate Assistance (LIRA) program is designed to provide financial assistance to qualifying low-income households. Eligible residents may receive a reduced rate on their utility bills, helping to alleviate the burden of high costs. Additionally, we offer the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program, which provides a monthly discount on electricity bills specifically for low-income customers. These programs aim to ensure that basic utility services remain accessible to low-income residents, promoting economic stability and well-being.
