| Taste of Hope Customer Assistance Program
for OWASA customers |
The Town of Carrboro encourages you to sign up as a donor in the Taste of Hope Program for Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) customers.
When you become a Taste of Hope donor, your monthly OWASA bill will be rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the added amount will go to the Inter-Faith Council to help low and moderate income families who are unable to pay their OWASA bills.
You may also contribute directly to the IFC if you do not receive OWASA bills or want to give a larger amount. |
