Customers approved for EAP will also automatically receive a 10-25 percent discount on their Citizens natural gas bill as well as a Low-Income Customer Assistance Program (LICAP) credit which lowers wastewater bills between $6 and $15 a month. Citizens employees can help navigate the application process for these programs on site\, and additional information is available on our Assistance webpage. \nCommunity Resource Day will host a list of community organizations including (but not limited to) AES Indiana; American Red Cross; Brooke’s Place; Care Source; Catholic Charities Indianapolis; Center for Leadership Development; Center Township of Marion County; Child Advocates; Community Alliance of the Far Eastside\, Inc.; Consistent Care Transit LLC; Edna Martin Christian Center; EmpowerED Families; Eskenazi Health; Felege Hiywot Center; Flanner House; Freetown Village; Gleaners Food Bank of Indianapolis; Harvest 2 Home Indy Floating Farmers Market; Helping Veterans and Families (HVAF); Immigrant Welcome Center; Indianapolis Marion County Public Library Foundation\, Inc.; Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center (INRC); Indy Hygiene Hub; Indy’s Global Village; International District Community Center (IDCC); IU Health; John H. Boner Neighborhood Center; Love & Light Care Services; Marion County Prosecutor’s Office; Martindale Brightwood Community Development Corporation (MBCDC); Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center; Office of Congressman André Carson; Overdose Lifeline; Patchwork Indy; Silver Citizens Inc.; Simon Youth Foundation; The Bridge Indy and Charity Cares; The Mind Trust; Trinity Haven Indy; and United Way of Central Indiana. \nAssistance Is Available for Customers In Need \nCitizens urges customers who may be falling behind on their bills to visit www.citizensenergygroup.com/help or call Citizens at (317) 924-3311. In addition to grants from the Warm Heart Warm Home Foundation™\, they may be eligible to establish flexible payment arrangements to assist in catching up on past-due bills. \nOne of the best ways to reduce the cost of utility bills is by conserving energy\, which can be done by taking the following steps: \n\nChange or clean furnace filters once per month\, or as recommended by the manufacturer\, during the home-heating season. Furnaces consume less energy if they “breathe” more easily. Receipt of one’s natural gas bill can be a good reminder.\nSet water heater temperature to 120 degrees. A family of four\, each showering for five minutes per day\, uses 350 gallons of water each week. By lowering the thermostat on the water heater to 120 degrees\, families can reduce water heating bills without sacrificing comfort.\nReduce air leaks. This can cut as much as 10 percent from an average household’s monthly energy bill. Seal leaks around doors\, windows\, and other openings (such as pipes or ducts) with caulk or weather-stripping.\nReplace old\, outdated appliances with high-efficiency natural gas models. When buying new appliances\, compare energy efficiency ratings and annual operating costs.
