Hello,

My name is [First, Last] and I am writing to request a deferred payment plan for my current utility bill. I have experienced significant financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 and despite my best efforts I am unable to pay my current water bill and any outstanding balance owed in full at this time. I currently owe [$00.00] and typically pay [$00.00] per month. I am currently [SELECT: unemployed; working part-time; behind on several other utility/rent payments] and because of my current financial situation, I am unable to pay the entirety of my outstanding balance owed by the start of the next billing cycle.

I [applied/will apply] for financial assistance through the Richland County Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program on [DATE] and am hopeful that I will receive financial assistance soon. A deferred payment plan would enable me to utilize the funds provided through the ERA program to pay my current outstanding balance. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to support this request. I appreciate your consideration and hope to hear from you soon.

Best,

[First, Last Name]
