The District of Columbias Water authority board debated whether they can shut off water to the White House after the federal government missed its quarterly payment due to the presidents border wall shutdown.
WAMU, American Universitys NPR station, reported Tuesday that DC Water officials noted during their first meeting of 2019 that they received an email from the Treasury Department announcing it wont be paying for $5 million of the federal governments $16.5 million water bill.
WAMU noted that DC law allows the water authority to shut off water to a customer for nonpayment after 30 days and place a lien on the property until a full payment is completed after 60 days.
Conceivably, DC Water can shut off service for nonpayment to any customer, DC Water spokesperson Vincent Morris told the NPR station.

The only thing that worries me is that he will take important papers with him papers that must not leave the white house.

Do it!

Besides, in the end, the SS or something would probably declare a security issue.

I particually like the part where they can 'place a lein on the property' for non-payment...it would be damn impressive if they decided to forclose on the WH cause Donald stiffed a utility company ...
