I agree with you, Ed. In this fairly short time where people have
lost income and might be late paying bills, I seriouly doubt
having
your water cut off is due to this situation. You will get several
notices to pay before they resort to a cut-off.

Even then, rather than just ignoring bills, it's always best to
call them up and explain your situation. Many are often willing
to help you work something out.

That sounds good! At least you know you can get help!
