Bankruptcy Judge Lets Detroit Continue Water Shutoffs 
------------------------------------------------------


 
A judge overseeing Detroit's bankruptcy has ruled the city can continue
shutting off water to residents who have fallen behind on payments.
Judge Steven Rhodes ruled there is no "enforceable right" to water.
Detroit began cutting off water to thousands of households several
months ago, prompting protests from residents and the United Nations.
