Can Cities Make Water Affordable? Detroit Offers Hope, and Disappointment

The United Nations got involved, saying the shutoffs were "contrary to human rights" because they deprived poor people of access to clean, running water.
The current director of Detroit's Water and Sewerage Department, Gary Brown, agrees. And yet, the same scenario is likely to happen again next month.
