Utilities Assistance
In case of necessity, the trustee will assist eligible clients with essential utility services (electric, gas and/or water). The utility must be in the name of an ADULT household member. The township does not pay deposits, econnect fees or trip charges.
During the months of November - May, clients must apply for the Energy Assistance program at Brightpoint (formerly known as CANI)
Utilities are the responsibility of the client, and should be paid every single month. If you have used a company's service, you must pay them for that srvice. If assistance is needed, please remember: The application process is the same, regardless of when your disconnect date is. Do not wait until your day od disconnect to apply for township assistance. Many times, a utility company is willing to make payment arrangements for you. Please call the utility company directly, to request this.
