WESTERNPORT – Nearly 200 water customers have outstanding bills in Westernport.
“There’s going to be a lot of people receiving red tags on their doors,” said mayor Laura Freeman Legge as the shut-off process began this week.
For months, the town has contacted residents about their outstanding bills in preparation for the time when shut-offs would resume during the pandemic.
Legge urged residents to set up payment plans and noted that they can also reach out to the Human Resources Development Commission (HRDC), if they need assistance.
Due to increasing cases of coronavirus, the city building will remain closed to the public until the positivity rate is five percent or below.
