TOL WATER INVESTIGATION



 

TOL WATER INVESTIGATION 

IN NORTHWEST OHIO, INVESTIGATORS AT OUR AFFILIATE WTOL-TV IN TOLEDO FOUND THAT COMPLIANCE WITH NEW WATER DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS IS COMING AT A SIGNIFICANT COST TO LOCAL RESIDENTS.
A TOLEDO WOMAN HAS HER WATER BACK ON AFTER 11 INVESTIGATES STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS, BUT HER CASE HIGHLIGHTS A BIGGER ISSUE. THE CITY OF TOLEDO SAYS THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS STILL HAVEN'T SCHEDULED WATER METER REPLACEMENTS AND COULD FACE SHUTOFFS. 11 INVESTIGATES SPOKE WITH JANICE THOR, WHO SAYS SHE REPEATEDLY TRIED TO COMPLY WITH THE CITY'S WATER METER REPLACEMENT PROGRAM, BUT CREWS COULDN'T REPLACE THE METER BECAUSE IT'S LOCATED INSIDE OF HER HOME. SHE SAYS THE CITY THEN SHUT OFF HER WATER AND TOLD HER SHE MAY HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO MAKE THE METER ACCESSIBLE.
