In addition, households which are in danger of having their water turned off because of delinquent bills are eligible for one-time utility payment assistance.  C&C is currently funded by the City of Atlanta, by individual, corporate and foundation donors, and by voluntary donations from customers of the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management . Over 1,000 households have benefited from this service.

"Care and Conserve is an important program that allows us to help people who need one-time assistance in paying their water/sewer bills or with plumbing repairs.  

In administering the program on behalf of the City, Southeast Energy has been a reliable, diligent partner, helping us to help those in need."

Mayor Shirley Franklin

Weatherization includes energy related repairs to reduce heat or air conditioning waste.  Our experience has shown that weatherization can reduce household energy use an average of 25%, increasing comfort and providing a margin of safety in extreme weather conditions.  All homes are tested for excessive levels of Carbon Monoxide and any appliances with high levels will be repaired or replaced.  All homes receive Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs and Carbon Monoxide detectors.  Equally important is the increased value that weatherization adds to homes.  This is also a benefit to the community because the repairs help maintain the housing stock.
