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!

you must live in a very sheltered place.

there are water issues in many areas of this planet.

humans seem to like to exploit things to the point
of destruction before they finally start being forced
to live within the carrying capacity of the areas
they inhabit. in ancient times they just moved on
after destroying a place. now there are fewer and
fewer places to move on to...

I got something in email from the water co and it said there will be no late charge for water bills.
