A family wants to pay the thousands of dollars owed on the water bill of a dead relative, but says DeKalb County officials won’t let them.
It’s nearly $9,000 Larry Sipes says he’s been trying to pay off for weeks.
“They won’t even let an individual like me pay the bill,” Mr. Sipes said.
But Mr. Sipes says both he and his wife have been blocked from paying off his deceased father-in-law’s water bill.

He told Channel 2 investigative Reporter Ashli Lincoln , “It’s just making matters worse and worse”.
Debbie Sipes said her 50-year-old brother who was living in the home suddenly passed away and when going through documents they discovered these water bills.
“It’s frustrating, it’s scary, and it angers me,” Mrs. Sipes said.
