        Simple solution, pay your water bill and it wouldn’t be shut off. It’s amazing how hard this concept is to grasp for the liberals.

        My water bill went up by 400% this year. From $28 a year to just over $100 per year. And the council is over charging me by about $50 per year, but I just pay it because I don't want to cause trouble. Detroiters pay on average $1,620 on water per year, incredible.

        Just another example of the Democratic run #shithole. Not enough jobs, not enough wages, unless you are part if the govt.

        SO, for being ONLY 60 days late in payment, these HUMANS are losing access to clean drinking (& other uses)water! That is DISGUSTING, people in a first world country, MUST have access to clean water, clean air,& probably electricity as well. NO ONE should be able to stop THAT!
