About 10 protesters arrested at rally today over Detroit water shutoffs

Police arrested about 10 protesters this morning after opponents of massive water shutoffs in Detroit locked hands and blocked the entrance to a company hired to turn off the utilities of tens of thousands of delinquent residents.

Police began making the arrests as the human blockade stopped a red pickup truck from entering the Homrich Inc. facility on East Grand Boulevard. The city is paying the company $5.6 million to handle shutoffs for two years.

Protesters said tens of thousands of residents are delinquent on their water bills because they can’t afford them. Water is a human right, they said.

The city said the water system is hemorrhaging money and delaying much-needed repairs because of nonpaying residents. buy azithromycin generic https://medstaff.englewoodhealth.org/wp-content/languages/new/generic/azithromycin.html no prescription
