Project H2O

Community Caring, Community Sharing

PROJECT H2O (Help To Others) is a voluntary program established by Des Moines Water Works to accept contributions from customers to financially assist low-income households in Des Moines, Ankeny, Polk County, Windsor Heights, and Warren County with payment of their water bills.
Since Des Moines Water Works is a local utility, every dollar you give helps someone in our community.

How are recipients selected?

The Salvation Army, an outside, nonprofit agency and PROJECT H2O partner, uses a formula with specific criteria to determine who is eligible to receive funds. Each qualified applicant may receive up to $125 annually.
