City of Lawrenceburg to Provide LMU Residential Utility Bill Forgiveness

The bill forgiveness is for January 2023.

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) of 2021, the City of Lawrenceburg has established the ARP Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund in which Federal funding assistance from the ARP shall be deposited. On December 19th, 2022, Mayor Mollaun and Lawrenceburg City Council approved the use of ARP funds from this fund to be used in association with the Utility Assistance Program to respond to the negative impacts caused by the COVID-19 public health emergency for existing LMU residential utility customers.

Under the Utility Assistance Program, the City of Lawrenceburg will provide one month of residential utilities at no cost for any existing residential customer currently receiving a Lawrenceburg Municipal Utilities bill for water, sewer and electric as indicated on the January 2023 LMU utility bill. Existing LMU residential customers shall have their January 2023 utility bill reflect a zero balance for current charges. Utility forgiveness does not apply to balance forward utility charges noted on utility bill.

Residents who have an existing rental agreement that includes LMU utilities should consult their landlord for any rental fee agreement changes. Landlords who bundle their monthly residential rental fee to include LMU Utilities are strongly encouraged to pass along this LMU utility relief savings to their renters during the holidays.
