Two words people: Rain barrel!
You live in a desert and should expect your water to cost a lot.
Maybe there was no goof at all, but an attempt to let the reader draw his own conclusions from the facts — which includes photos.
A picture is, after all, worth a thousand words.
“There is a depression going on...that is indisputable fact. However, persons such as this member of the Free Shit Army have no motivation, and an expectation that because she chose badly that we taxpayers (the ones who still have jobs for now) should bear the costs for her and her offspring.”
The system is buckling because a lot of people are being forced into the Free Shit Army by the horrible economy; the government can’t give Precious $900 per month while giving formerly productive people only $300. As the ranks of the public-dependent swell, there is no new revenue to offset the costs.
I’m actually shocked that welfare gibsmedats even get water bills; do they simply transfer part of their cash benefits to the water utility?
Good luck in your search; it is scary out there. Here in northern NJ there has been an exodus of skilled workers as the jobs disappeared.
Oh the Horror! The Horror!
Let the Hilab*tch pay for it.
I do not give a smelly Obama.
Yes, there seem to be two tiers of unemployed!
My bill is 75 a month.
Not only does that include water service it ALSO includes stormwater collection as well, that would be the curb inlet at the end of your driveway sucking up all the stormwater so it doesn’t flood the road. This is typical since the city handles all water management.
But even at 75 a month that’s still only 2.5 dollars a day for service. Our utilities dept charges 10$ the first day past due, 50 everyday after that AND your water is shut off right away,AND a charge of 50$ on top of the regular bill is assessed for the next THREE MONTHS,added to the regular bill.
I pay my water bill 2 weeks early every month.
Nicole Hill used her water money on nails, hair & tattoos.
I’m retired, not out of work, lol. I didn’t mean me.
“The tattoos may be from a while ago “
So you think that “a while ago” she was on firm financial footing with ample savings and retirement accounts to splurge on tattoos?
Rain barrels are generally illegal. Acid rain, don’t you know.
Its why I wish conservatives would step up and seize control of Detroit. In a sense, this is actually what is driving this. The water department is being privatized and while the squealing is loud right now, things will be better for the people in the long run.
There’s a privately owned bus company operating and growing in competition with the city service right now.
I see Detroit as an ideal proving ground for urban conservatism. Much larger cities are headed for collapse and we need a plan so we can draw those cities to sensibility.
The ticket to disaster is to keep having the people that do pay their own way also cover more and more cost for people that wont pay their own way.
Taking money from people that do work to cover the cost of people that don’t work simply creates more poverty.
The United States of America, one step closer to third world status.

The U.S. used to be an esteemed country. “Made in USA” was a mark of the highest quality and valued worldwide. Not so much anymore.
The national decline continues apace. That’s just the reality.
The pig in the picture should use the money she spends on her nails, to pay down some of her water bill.
“At least she is trying to do something to improve her lot. “Homeland security” is a genuine growth industry as are all the other government teat-sucking jobs that got us into the terrible state we now find ourselves.”
We are paying for her schooling, and she opted for studies in a fabricated industry which will keep her on our dollars for the rest of her life anyway. There is no more money for these redistribution shenanigans, and millions of white Americans are going to be joining her for their share of the freebies. As much as I’m surprised by the dearth of white children in my area, I’m even more surprised how many of the few that are born are welfare bastards.
There are now a lot of gibsmedats, illegals, and newly-impoverished whites fighting for their shares of the freebie pie...
Except that in some areas you can go to jail for catching rain and storing it...
No, I am not kidding...
Yuck, low flow toilets! I remember the 1950s when high-powered toilets blew you right out of the stall. Hospitals still have them, thank God.
