You're absurd. If they "handled collections in a timely manner" they would have been cut off 3 months after they stopped paying, evoking cries and outrage from people like you demanding that they be given more time. If the customers are given that time and are cut off two years later instead of 3 months we here complaints like the water dept. "needs to handle collections in a timely manner". Pathetic.
No. Three months is plenty of time, but you do it on an account by account basis. You don't let it stew for a long time, and then cut everyone off at once. And you offer means-tested assistance before turning shite off, not after.
Water departments all over the country handle this just fine. It appears that Detroit is trying to trim the fat in preparation for privatization.

The only hope Detroit has of rebounding is privatization. I'd save time and just napalm the fricking place.
I'd say process the Detroit poors into food for other poors, but we don't want a cholera outbreak on our hands.

The catch 22 with this assertion has already been brought up.

Ah there it is. Give em more money, because clearly that's going to solve the problem.
