Please read through my message: if water bills become delinquent for more than 30 days. the city has the right to issue a warning notice and then shut off water if no action taken by tenant: Tenant authorized Landlord to call the city to do shut off water. This is Michigan. Water is supplied by the city, not a utility company that shuts off water if bills are not paid. Livability has nothing to do with not paying bills. If an electricity bill is not paid, the company will shut off service, which, for sure, will downgrade the livability!

I read your message...you said that the city 'has the right' to 'shut off the water'? Having the right and exercising the right do not appear to be the same thing, does it? Ask your electric company if they will shut off the electricity to a unit in the winter if the bill is not paid. Hint: They won't.
