Port Huron Times Herald Residents facing difficulty in paying their water and sewer bills amid the coronavirus pandemic still have a month before the state’s shutoff moratorium ends, but whether they’ll face a financial penalty for nonpayment depends on where they live. In the last month, Marine City officials agreed to once again extend a measure waiving late fees until May. A utility bill deferment was first OK’d by the City Commission in May 2020 and extended twice before first to November and then February of this year. According to the city, 116 water and sewer accounts were delinquent over $53,000 at the start of 2021. Marine City Treasurer Megan Pearce told commissioners this month that the city could withstand the economic impact of delaying penalties for nonpayment but asked officials support a return to shutoffs once allowed when a state-ordered ban ends March 31.
