Utility officials this month began shutting off the water at homes in Paterson, Passaic and Clifton, ending more than a two-year pandemic reprieve for customers with unpaid service bills.The Passaic Valley Water Commission started shutting off water for delinquent accounts in mid-January and is stopping service for about 30 accounts per day, said agency spokesman Bryan Frierson.The commission has a list of 7,500 delinquent residential accounts that are about $12.5 million in arrears, he said. The shut-offs will start with the accounts owing the largest amounts of money and work down, he added.
