WOODLAND — A Woodland man whose water was cut off more than a year ago due to his refusal to pay garbage fees picketed in front of City Hall Thursday, city officials said.
Terry Krebser and three fellow picketers passed out fliers protesting the city’s termination of his water and sewer services after he did not pay his garbage bill. Krebser said Thursday he had money to pay for garbage, but chose not to pay because he did not use the service.
Krebser owes the city $646, officials said. He has not had water or sewer services since October 2010. He continues to be billed for garbage.
Krebser has a lawsuit pending in Cowlitz County court against the city of Woodland.
Woodland residents pay utility bills that include charges for garbage, water and sewer services, Mayor Grover Laseke said. Krebser will continue to be charged for garbage as long as he lives in Woodland.
