    Default DC WATER AUTH could turn off GOV'T's water in DC for failure to pay it's bill

    This sounds like something from the ONION, but alas it is sourced (DC NPR). Apparently TREASURY emailed the water authority it wasn't paying the 'government's WATER BILL. Of all the bills not to pay, how would they CHOOSE not to pay the water bill? 'Water' and 'lights' are right up with there with the MORTGAGE in the rest of the country's 'first ones paid' list. Can you imagine if you or I simply emailed our local water auth and say, I'm just not going to pay my bill this month.

    And so the law of unintended consequences kicks in! Wait'll FRI if people don't get paid! (Though Trump said that government workers would 'make do').



    DC Water board debates whether they can cut off White House service after Trump admin misses payment

    The District of Columbia’s Water authority board debated whether they can shut off water to the White House after the federal government missed its quarterly payment due to the president’s border wall shutdown.

    WAMU, American University’s NPR station, reported Tuesday that DC Water officials noted during their first meeting of 2019 that they received an email from the Treasury Department announcing it won’t be paying for $5 million of the federal government’s $16.5 million water bill.

    “That brings up an interesting question,” DC Water board chairman Tommy Wells said at the January 3 meeting. “Is there a time from nonpayment when we cut someone’s water off?”

    “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” another board member asked, laughing. “Is that what you’re talking about?”

    WAMU noted that DC law allows the water authority to “shut off water to a customer for nonpayment after 30 days” and place a lien on the property until a full payment is completed after 60 days.

    “Conceivably, DC Water can shut off service for nonpayment to any customer,” DC Water spokesperson Vincent Morris told the NPR station. “We don’t do it very often, it’s a last resort, we never want to do it.”

    Morris added that in the case of the federal government, the General Services Administration — the same agency that found funds to reopen Old Post Office on the Trump DC hotel property — would be likely to pay those bills.
