About World Water Week
More than two million Americans live without running water and basic indoor plumbing. Without water, people cannot wash their hands, flush their toilets, or clean their homes. For too many American families and communities, this is their everyday reality. The Office of Community Services is working to address the barriers that prevent families and communities from accessing safe water and wastewater with the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP), Rural Community Development (RCD) programs, and the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG).
