Michigan City Tells Residents To Pay Up Or They’ll Shut Off Water — Again
Months after a county judge ordered Flint, Michigan to cease shutting off water pipes and revise customers’ bills, the city is once again sending out letters warning customers to pay or go dry.
The city sent out more than 1,800 shutoff notices since last week, representing about 60 percent of all customers billed in September. While city ordinances call for a 10-day grace period between a shutoff warning and the city actually closing a pipe, Flint is giving residents until December 1 to make payments.

- It is 3rd grade. You are taking a test about maps and have to fill in the names of The Great Lakes. It is silent. You look up, confused. You’re trying to remember the last one, you always forget the last one. “HOMES.” your teacher declares. “HOMES.” your teacher repeats. “HOMES.” your classmates chant.
- It is the middle of a humid summer day. You quickly run to Meijer to pick up a few groceries. There is a man on the bench outside. You go in and wander around the drink aisle deciding which refreshment will best cool you off. Vernors? You decide on craft beer. Bells. You walk outside. It’s night now. There is snow on the ground. How long were you in there? Does time exist in Meijer? The man on the bench, he’s still there. He is always there. You look up at the sign and realize, it’s pronounced “Meijer” and not, “Meijer’s”. Fifteen more inches of snow has fallen.
- You’re taking a road trip. You head south on US-127. Your mind wanders into a fit of complaints about potholes. It is suddenly two hours later. You realize you are lost. You stare at your palm, then back at the road. Your palm… The road. “You are in Hell.” your palm announces. “I’m in Hell.” you say aloud. A middle aged couple, laughs.
- It is the week of November 15th. The stores have become vacant of Red Bull and beef jerky. Schools have closed. The roads, empty. Be vigilant near the forests.
i literally choked on my craft beer omg
From earlier this summer, I made a visit to enchanting Rock River Falls in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This is an extremely beautiful area with its ruggedness and remoteness. The prize of reaching Rock River Falls is very rewarding as it doesn’t get many travelers. This was an extra special trip as I had a black bear come into the falls while I was photographing. Talk about thrilling! The bear wandered in about 75 yards from me and I was very fortunate to get a decent shot of him. What a great trip this was!
