Don't let Kinsley's family go through the rainy season without water
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Kinsley needs $700 before October.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States1,135 views
The water account is 3 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $700. I have never been late before my partner leaving the household.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which I don't have.
I live with a disabled brother, and going through the rainy season 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 $700 goes:
• Utility arrears: $240
• Reconnection and late fees: $185
• Down payment on a payment plan: $275
Thanks for reading all this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kinsley!
Utility arrears is $240 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
