City Council Calls on Sewerage and Water Board to Reconsider Shutting Off Water

Citing a lack of public trust in the Sewerage and Water Board's (S&WB's) billing system, the entire City Council on Friday asked the utility to reconsider its decision to reinstate normal collections, including shutoffs. The request comes after the S&WB agreed in a recent Public Works committee meeting that they lack the resources and capacity to ensure that all bills sent to customers are correct.
