One solution: garnish welfare money from non-paying resident.
In a democrat-infested cesspool like Detroit, isn't that just an axiomatic assumption?
Maybe some investigative journalist could determine how it is that people almost invariably complaining about their shutoff have $50 manicures. Is there a division of Detroit or DC that covers nail art as a human right and social justice? I mean’ perhaps it’s a govt program and they were entitled to those claws. But since I don’t think that’s happened yet, I have to believe they were purchased with regular EBT funds that could have paid the water bill on time.
Does that make me a bad man? Because I don’t FEEEELLLL like a bad man noticing the obvious...
Why cant they give away free water?
The people get everything else , including housing, food, daycare, spending money, electricity, transportation, cell phones, computers and health care for free .
Why not water?
Who pays for infrastructure to deliver the water? Who do they think will pay for labor to run facilities that pump water? Why hasn’t that been brought up to these people who demand free water?
Free Water To Us All!
Maybe a chicken in the pot too.
Must not be able to pay the water bill with EBT.
Has anyone figured out the problem, you can’t pay for water with your EBT. Change the rules no problem. And by the way will need a little more in the EBT account too.

From what I can tell from peeking in at the Governor’s race from time to time, the idea that water is a “human right” appears to now be the official position of the Democrat Party of Michigan.
Most of my neighbors are white, like me, and if we don’t pay our water bills our water is shut off.
My municipality has a first-rate credit rating, but lawn gnome Robert Reich is probably right:
This is the white man’s fault for keeping Detroit down by asking them to pay their bills, like everybody else in the damned country.
The saddest part of this sarcasm is that the shaming would go right over the heads of its targets, the gibsmedat crowd.
Tell them to take their buckets and go to Lake Erie and scoop up as much free water as they can carry.
What are they talking about. Just make the other customers cover the cost. If they are still paying their bills they can afford to cover those that are not.
Oh, now I see. Those greedy bond holders. Well, make them pay!
Easy solution.
Leave their water service turned on, but plug their sewer line.
“Opponents essentially are arguing that “every resident has the inherent right to free water,”
I had to deal with a water district years ago for my employer. The district manager told me “the water itself is free, but you have to pay us to deliver it to you.”
So they need to tell these deadbeats, yeah, the water is free, but if you don’t pay us for the delivery service, get a bucket and take a very long walk. We will even give you the directions to the our source. And of course, you will have to treat it yourself too.
Maybe they can’t afford water, but look at how cheap the imports from China are. /s
As long as people don't live in California, they won't be charged for collecting rain water.
