Help Kristine with an overdue water bill before the cold months

The water account is 4 months behind. Kristine received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless $150 is paid. She had never been late before an unexpected car repair. Kristine called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which isn't available. The household includes three children under ten, and going through the cold months without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home. Kristine is working on getting back on her feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Kristine's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: • Water arrears: $80 • Reconnection and late fees: $30 • Down payment on a payment plan: $40 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
