Customer Assistance Program (CAP)

The City of Tampa offers a Customer Assistance Program that waives the monthly water and wastewater base charges for qualifying account holders. This program was created as part of PIPES (Progressive Infrastructure Planning to Ensure Sustainability), a $2.9 billion investment to improve the City of Tampa’s water and wastewater systems.
