District Residents May Apply for Utility Discounts at Convention Center Friday, September 3
Joint Utility Discount Day (JUDD) is Friday, September 3 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Mount Vernon Place, NW, on Metros Green and Yellow Lines.
JUDD is an annual event where low-income District homeowners or tenants can apply for energy assistance and discounts offered by DC Water, PEPCO, Washington Gas, NationsLine, and Verizon by completing just one application.
To minimize delays, customers should be prepared to show:
Proof of household income,
Picture ID with social security number,
Recent utility bills such as oil, gas, electric, telephone and water and sewer,
A lease agreement or rent receipt, if heat is included.
JUDD is sponsored by the participating utilities, the District Department of the Environment (DDOE), the Office of the Peoples Counsel and the DC Public Service Commission.
For more information about JUDD, please contact DDOEs Energy Office at (202) 673-6700.
