LOUISVILLE (January 25, 2021) – Today Mayor Greg Fischer joined Louisville Metro Council members and utility partners in announcing the start of the city’s $10 million COVID-19 utility assistance program, designed to help residents who have fallen behind on LG&E, Louisville Water and Louisville MSD bills as a result of COVID-19.
The Metro COVID-19 Utility Relief Funds are designed for residents with an active LG&E, Louisville Water Company/MSD account with a past due amount. The outstanding balance must have occurred between March 16, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Customers will need to attest that they have had a financial hardship during the pandemic.
Customers with outstanding balances on their utility bills could receive a one-time credit for up to $500 each on LG&E and Water/MSD bills.
Funding for the utility relief program comes from Louisville Metro Government general fund dollars freed up by federal CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, & Economic Security) Act) funding in other areas. The funds will be distributed by the city’s Office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) under agreements with the utilities and the utilities’ foundations and administrative support from the Association of Community Ministries and Neighborhood Place.
“We know financial hardships related to COVID-19, whether that be job loss or reduction in hours, have created a high demand for utility assistance,” said Mayor Fischer. “The Metro COVID-19 Utility Relief Program represents a new partnership with Louisville Water Co., MSD, LG&E, and the utilities’ foundations, working together to help people get back on track in paying their utility bills. I am also grateful for Metro Council for approving this funding to help the residents of Louisville overcome this financial burden.”
To demonstrate the level of need LG&E had nearly 28,000 residential customers in arrears. And there are 15,000 residential customers in Jefferson County who are behind on their Louisville Water/MSD bill.
The application process is as follows:

“These new utility relief funds continue Metro’s commitment to public health and safety, helping residents who have been hit hardest to recover from the financial impacts of the pandemic, said Councilman Bill Hollander, District 9. “Assisting families in need has been a priority for Metro Council since last March. There is much more to do but utility assistance is critical, and Metro Council enthusiastically supported these new programs.”
The federally funded LIHEAP Crisis Program is also currently operating, providing heating assistance for qualified residents who meet one of these criteria: are facing disconnection, or past due amount, or who are facing eviction if their utilities are included in their rent, or who are in danger of funning out of heating fuel such as kerosene or propane.
LIHEAP, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, is also administered through the Office of Resilience and Community Services. Check here for eligibility and how to apply.
