The Care & Conserve Plumbing Repair Program (CCPRP) provides vital support to elderly, low-income, and disabled homeowners in Atlanta by offering free plumbing repair services. In addition to repairs, the program helps homeowners by:

  • Bill Payment Assistance: Offering support to those struggling with water utility bills, helping to prevent service interruptions.

  • Water-Efficient Fixture Installation: Installing modern, water-efficient fixtures to reduce water usage and lower utility costs.

This program not only benefits homeowners but also supports the broader community by reducing the burden of outstanding debt on the Department of Watershed Management. By promoting efficient water use, CCPRP helps conserve resources for all Atlanta residents.
