Water restored to DeKalb hotel with $210,000 bill
Water is again flowing to a DeKalb County hotel whose water service had been shut off because of a huge unpaid water bill.
Economy Inn on Wesley Chapel Road paid its $210,463 bill Wednesday after water had been disconnected Monday because of a history of nonpayment, according to the county.
The Economy Inn and two other hotels had been warned in September that they'd lose water unless they began paying off their delinquent bills.
Two other hotels, A2B Budget Hotel on Ember Drive and Affordable Hotel on Glenfair Road, paid off bills of $94,728 and $47,028 in September.
