Unpaid Water Bills Lead New Haven's WPCA To Go On Home Foreclosure Rampage

In New Haven, Connecticut, the New Haven Independent reports:

• The WPCA continues its foreclosure tear in New Haven. The mayor remains silent. The agency — the quasi-governmental Water Pollution Control Authority — filed eight new lawsuits in State Superior Court on Jan. 14 and 15 to snatch New Haven properties for unpaid bills as low as $1,235. That brings to over 130 the minimum number of New Haven homes the WPCA has filed suit to foreclose on since New Haven relinquished control of the agency in mid-2005 and it became a suburban-controlled independent entity.
