How we prioritize repairs
We prioritize customers with the largest leaks or those who are without water due to a leak. For smaller leaks, like a faucet drip, we have wait times of up to one year or longer. If you apply, we will keep you on our waitlist and contact you when we are ready to make repairs.
We are not able to reimburse for repairs made outside of the program.
To qualify
Customers must meet all of the following criteria to qualify for the program:
- Your property must be a single-family home with an active City of Portland drinking water account.
- You must own your home.
- You must live at the property and be directly responsible for paying the sewer, stormwater, and water bill.
- You must be enrolled in the City's financial assistance program. (You can apply to get help with your leak first, but you'll need to be enrolled in the financial assistance program before we can approve your water leak repair application.)
If you don’t meet the criteria above, you may still qualify for assistance through another organization. Visit our home repair resources page for a list of other organizations that may be able to help.
