It's the use of regional metropolitan technology that is part of the human right. Detroit Water and Sewage did what's in their policy just like DTE Energy, At&t Comcast, Dish Network, ect.. If you can't pay your bills, your utilities will be shut off.
Matter of fact when friend just came to his SW Detroit family flat home from Europe. He's has no running water. His water was shut off for not paying his three month bill. He pay all the remaining bills online, but his water is not turn on. So we went to the water board building in Gilberttown Detroit to find out what's the matter. He found that that landlord was $814 behind on his bills. My friend tried to put his water bill under his name. In order to do that he must provide the landlord's lease. However the landlord is away in somewhere in Europe and he can't contact him. So he will have to find some other means to find his landlord so that he can get the water in his name.
To all you Detroiters and suburbanities who don't have any water in their homes. Here's a lesson given to you all by homeless people:
Any human can get water. Get a bucket, go to a river, fill it up, filter out the toxins and voila clean drinking water.
Let's say you need to a bath. Find a unisex restroom and wash you whole body.
Ask you neighbor if you want clean drinking water. Come up with problem solving method to get access to pure drinking water. To some civilize folks in the forum it's ridiculous but it may come and handy just in case human civilization ends.
