The ordinance would have protected seniors, children, and people with disabilities earning under 350% of the federal poverty line, but Mayor John Carney argued it would discourage payment and harm the city’s ability to collect on 4,000 delinquent accounts. While he signed other housing reforms, this veto highlights a deep divide: advocates and councilmember Darby see it as proactive protection, while the mayor insists water disconnections — though rare — are vital for financial stability. With a veto override vote looming, the city is once again caught between compassion and cash flow — and the tension is only growing as critics point to businesses getting far more leniency than households.
