Every single penny paid out is the result of donations from the community. This puts even more focus on the administering agencies to ensure that the proper people get funds and that individuals that have lived frivolously or that caused their own hardship may not be assisted. There is even more focus on eliminating abuse as well as fraud from the application process. The program is taking very seriously as Springfield City Water Light and Power appreciates the fact that people make contributions of their hard earned paychecks.
There will always be priority given as well. The Springfield City Water Light and Power Project Relief donation program will not assist people that have a past history of having their power cut off, or utility bill assistance is not given to people that do not conserve or waster their power (this can be determined by analyzing past bills). Instead the money goes to customers that are faced with a financial crisis that they did not cause.
