Fresno eyes to recoup cash for $4mil in unpaid water bills
With Fresnans in arrears more than $4 million for utility bills racked up during the coronavirus pandemic, lawmakers are set to take action Thursday to recoup that money while instituting a new water shutoff policy for delinquent residents. Thanks to Senate Bill 998, which became effective in February 2020, water shutoffs in California are prohibited for people who have not paid their bills for fewer than 60 days.
