Keep the water on at Joyce's home in Wellington

A disconnection notice for water arrived and Joyce needs $500 before January.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on January unless I pay $500. 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 $95 first, which I don't have. I live with a parent on oxygen therapy, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Joyce's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $500 goes: • Utility arrears: $250 • Reconnection and late fees: $65 • Down payment on a payment plan: $185 If you're reading this, thank you. - Joyce

Updates from Joyce

  1. Update from Wellington: I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
