Water Tank Program
KCAO, in partnership with Self Help Enterprises, has the resources to install a large water storage tank on properties that qualify. Once installed, water delivery is scheduled and pumped into the tank, restoring access to water that might otherwise be dry. In addition, KCAO can remove the tank or repair the tank should a leak occur or water access is permanently restored.
For interest in this program or for more information, please reach out to Self Help Enterprises at 559-802-1284
If you encounter an emergency such as no hot water or no cooling in the home or are in need of general weatherization assistance, please call (559) 415-7285 or email us at WX@KCAO.org with your name, house address, and phone number so we may see about addressing your needs. Please let us know, specifically, what your needs are.
