Water shut-off notice: help Colton pay $950
Help Colton cover an overdue water bill so the household stays safe this winter.
🇺🇸 United States1,290 views
The water account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on August unless I pay $950. I have never been late before an unexpected car repair.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $100 first, which I don't have.
I live with two young children, and going through winter without water isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature.
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 Colton's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates.
Where the $950 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $510
• Reconnection and late fees: $165
• Down payment on a payment plan: $275

Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
