A Winnipeg woman is "bewildered" after the city turned the water off at her River Heights home because of an unpaid bill at another residence — one at which she's never lived. Marilyn Simon's water was turned off on Thursday morning because of an unpaid bill at a property where her husband used to live. After inquiring further, Simon found out it was an outstanding bill for a property her ex-husband had rented, but no longer lived at. Simon asked why she wasn't notified earlier that her water would be turned off because of the unpaid bill. Held 'hostage' over outstanding billSimon was eventually allowed to pay the bill and had her water turned on just before midnight Thursday.
