$10 000 water bill surprise

VERITA?WILLIAMS is facing a big problem.
She is saddled with a $10 000 water bill that she is unable to pay because it was not something for which she had planned.
Williams, who lives at Amity Lodge, Christ Church, discovered her pipes had developed a leak while she was on a month’s vacation overseas.
Now on her return and trying to get the $10 862 water bill reduced, she finds herself drowning in the debt and unable to get it managed.
The news did not get any better when she was issued with a bill for disconnection last Monday.
Williams said she had been paying her monthly usage along with a bit extra each month and was unsure how she could avoid disconnection as she was unable pay the sum in full.
