“Regardless of the rationale for these cutoffs, the human consequences are unacceptable and unsustainable,” he said.
“The failure to reinstate water service means unsanitary conditions, malnutrition and disease for babies, the sick and the elderly.”
The water department, responsible for about $6 billion of Detroit’s $18 billion in debt, is a major issue in the city’s bankruptcy.
Earlier this year, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department said it would be more assertive about delinquencies. 
About 46,000 shut-off notices were sent last month and service to about 10 percent of that number was recently cut.
