City restores Morris Brown College’s water service

Must pay $214,000 by mid-February.

Let the taps flow. For now, at least.

From the city’s Department of Watershed Management:

The Department of Watershed Management is restoring water service to Morris Brown College after officials presented the Department with a certified check for $30,000 a few minutes ago. In making the payment, the college complied with Judge Henry Newkirk’s order that Morris Brown pay $100,000 today ($70,000 after this morning’s hearing and $30,000 before 5 pm) toward its delinquent water/sewer bills. The balance on the remaining outstanding accounts, approximately $214,000, is to be paid on or before February 17, and the college must pay current charges.
