So far, 81 Statesboro residents age 65 and up with limited incomes have signed up for a city-sponsored break on their water and sanitation bills, reports Alex Smith, Bulloch County coordinator for Concerted Services Inc. The number of people signing up increased in November after City Council raised the threshold to 125 percent of the federally recognized poverty level. November is also the month when many seniors visit Concerted Services to sign up for federal assistance with home heating bills, so the nonprofit corporation has been taking the city applications at the same time.
