Will credits reducing the city of Statesboro’s water bills extend to people who are either age 65 and older or have low incomes, or only to those who are both senior citizens and poor? City Council did not have an answer Tuesday, but the question points out the big difference the little words “and” and “or” can make. The new credit most clearly in question would be worth $2 a month to most qualifying households, while another credit, already available, is worth $3.95 a month.
