Matthew Cowap has a home in a nice neighbourhood but says he’s been forced to live as in the wilderness, amid a near five-year billing dispute with the City of Winnipeg.

Cowap received a water bill demanding more than $20,000 in October 2016; one year later, with the note unpaid, the city cut off water to his Cambridge Street house. The amount was transferred to his property tax in 2018 and has since grown to more than $60,000, after compounded interest.
