Water shut-off notice: help Colton pay $600
A disconnection notice for water arrived and Colton needs $600 before September.

The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $600. 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 $70 first, which I don't have.
I live with an elderly mother, and going through the rainy season without water isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
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 $600 goes:
• Utility arrears: $310
• Reconnection and late fees: $70
• Down payment on a payment plan: $220
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this, Colton. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from San Diego.
