Rhonda Wimbish says she has been battling Baltimore officials over a $300 water bill — more than six times her normal rate — for more than a year.

Now Wimbish, a single mother of a disabled child, says her West Baltimore home is scheduled to go to tax sale over the bill, which she maintains is inaccurate.

"What do I do? Do I pay my inflated water bill or do I feed my child?" Wimbish said to a City Council committee Wednesday evening. "I've gone through your process. I've done everything I could to fight this bill."

Wimbish was one of scores of angry residents who packed a hearing on water bill errors.



Mayor Rawlings-Blake, a Black woman, supports the city selling homes as a tax lien sale when the water bills issued by the city are wrong.

There MUST be lawsuits over this!
