AtlantaJournalConstitution reports that Clayton County officials have shut off water to dozens of residents, due to an unpaid water bill by owner Vicki Holland. Residents of “Maria’s Mobile Home Park” state they have been without water for over a week. “We get water from other people to wash dishes and wash … our clothes and flush the toilet – anything we have to do,” said Tracy Reynolds Sorros, whose family is one of 27 in the location. Clayton County’s water authority cut off water when the outstanding bill reached $16,000. Now, authorities have condemned the “park” and have told the residents they have to leave. Holland blamed the water authority for the problem, telling a local news station they didn’t fixed leaks that caused the bill to go so high, she can’t afford to pay it.
