The City of
Enid
is offering a utility assistance program designed to help employers recruit workers. The program provides additional resources to help new employees with the cost of relocation.
The Utility Assistance Program is available for new employees who:
- Relocate to
Enid
from an area that is at least 50 miles away
- Earn less that $40,000 annually
- Have received a letter of verification from their employer stating the employee meets the program requirements.
For the first three months after City of
Enid
utilities are activated, the City’s economic development trust authority (EEDA) will pay water, sewer, and trash utilities on behalf of the employee. The City of
Enid
is also waiving the utility activation fee. The total savings to the employee is approximately $200.
Employers and employees interested in participating in the program should contact the Utility Services Manager at the City of
Enid
(580-234-0400 x 1600). New employees must provide a letter from their employer stating that the employee meets all the program requirements. The letter can be presented when establishing utility service with the City of
Enid
.
The Utility Assistance Program is available through June 30, 2008.
