My free water won’t come out of the ground if I fail to pay my electric bill and maintain my pump and plumbing.

The 2 UN nutjobs are free to pay the bills for the Detroit water customers...
To: dware
In other words, demanding that people be responsible for maintaining and paying for their own water supplies is now a U.N. "human rights violation." And the U.N. feels entitled to interfere in our sovereign affairs to enforce its rules.
Why is it that those of us who maintain the U.N.'s goal is to establish world socialist government under control of unelected bureaucrats are called "conspiracy theorists?" It's right there in front of our noses, folks.

The UN involvement is about more than Detroit drinking water. Its about UN control of the great lakes.

“Not so fast. According to EPA it’s illegal to collect rainwater.
Or let rainwater from your property run into the street.”
Be a great way o go after Obama with two weeks left. “You have to pay for water because of Obama’s EPA.” Force the admin to step in..

Thanks for the link, ‘creek. Progressive profiteering from the misfortunes of the poor? Who’da thunk it? Peter’s pipers picked a pack of plundered profits from the poor. Detroit’s coke brothers may not like this.

Detroit officials: “bristle”, “fuming”, “very disappointed”...
I guess Obama has a lock on “seething” this week.

It's Detroit.......most people don't pay for their own groceries, rent, cars, and gas. When it is no longer paid for, then the riots will start.
Of course there's always a risk that a shortage of the latest Air Jordans, or some felon getting shot by a CCW holder may jump start the rioting.

I am surprised the UN could spare a couple people from its jam-packed slate of screwing things up tremedously, across the rest of the globe.
