Last week, the city of Detroit announced an aggressive campaign of water shutoffs targeting
some 150,000 residents who are behind on their payments.
The city plans to disconnect water service to thousands of structures per week.
These measures are aimed at making the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD)
a more attractive investment in anticipation of privatization.
