Customer Assistance Program

The City of Austin sponsors the Customer Assistance Program (CAP) to assist eligible customers who are having difficulty paying their utility bill.

Voluntary contributions from customers like you fund this program. Enter the amount you wish to contribute in the space provided on the return portion of your monthly utility bill. Include that amount with the check for your utility payment.

Every dollar helps! Your contribution is tax deductible.
