AFRICANGLOBE - Two years after the city of Detroit instituted a policy of mass service disconnections of past due water accounts, the city is shutting off some 150 customers a day with no letup in sight. The shutoffs continued through the recent summer heat wave, with temperatures reaching the 90s for days in a row. At this point about 1 in 13 of Detroit’s 175,000 residential accounts have had their water shut off.
