financial hardships for many DeKalb County residents. As a result, basic needs such as

To alleviate some of these burdens, Commissioner Robert Patrick is offering water bill
assistance for residents of District 1 through St. Vincent de Paul’s utility program. This
program will assist low-income residents who have past due water bills and may be
