Renea Robinson talks about the problems she is having, carrying in containers of water for cooking, due to not having running water in the kitchen on March 24, 2016 in Detroit. Detroit last year shut off water service to 23,300 homes while leaving the taps running at thousands of businesses that owe millions of dollars, according to the Detroit News review of documents published Friday, April 1. Robinson, a single mother of four young children who works two jobs, has lived without water for six months after the house she rented for seven years went into foreclosure because the landlord didn't pay taxes or the $5,000 water bill.
