LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) People in Lake Charles who need help paying their water bills will soon be able to apply for grants.
Mayor Nic Hunter told the American Press that the city refrained from disconnecting people who couldn’t pay their bills during the pandemic but months into the pandemic, they’re now asking people to catch up on what they owe.
“With the onset of the pandemic, like many of the utilities, the city of Lake Charles put a temporary hold on water disconnections because we understand what people are going through right now, and the last thing people need is . their utilities cut off,” Hunter told the newspaper.
