Arthur Dublettle holds a sign this afternoon protesting the city turning off the water at Atlanta's largest homeless shelter, on the corner of Peachtree and Pine streets.
The shelter has not made payments on their water bill for over two months which has led county officials to threaten to close down the shelter. (This afternoon, a judge ruled that the water should be turned back on pending an appeal.)
“We can’t use the bathroom, showers or the drinking water," says Dublettle, who lives and works at the shelter. He adds: "If they shut down the shelter, I will go and sleep in the park.”
