Water shut-off notice: help Edilene pay $300

Edilene is behind on water bills after my partner leaving the household and needs $300 to avoid a shut-off.

The water account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on September unless I pay $300. 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 $30 first, which I don't have. I live with a disabled brother, and going through winter 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. Every dollar goes to the account in Edilene's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $300 goes: • Utility arrears: $195 • Reconnection and late fees: $50 • Down payment on a payment plan: $55 If you're reading this, thank you.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($84). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
