The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $250. I have never been late before a reduction in hours. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $35 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $250 goes: • Electricity arrears: $140 • Reconnection and late fees: $45 • Down payment on a payment plan: $65 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Jacques
