Water Residential Assistance Program
The City of Berkley partners with the Water Residential Assistance Program (WRAP) to provide funding to eligible, low-income households. Funding is provided by the Great Lakes Water Authority and is administered in partnership with local community action agencies.
Under WRAP, participants will be able to access the support needed to pay past-due water bills and become self-sufficient.
