Bend woman with cancer goes without water
REDMOND, Ore. (AP) — Lynette Nicks has not worked for the past two years, instead fighting the breast cancer that has consumed much of her energy and resources.
She's used up $26,000 in savings to pay her bills.
Now, the money is gone, and one bill she can't pay is one of the most critical: her water bill.
The city will cut her water service on Feb. 15 if she can't come up with the $140 that is overdue. She says she doesn't have the money and is resigned to losing water.
Low runoff cuts BPA revenue
The Bonneville Power Administration has reduced its expectations for hydroelectric power revenue this year by more than $200 million because of new forecasts for a continued depressed runoff in the Columbia Basin.
Based on the forecasts, BPA now estimates it will finish the fiscal year with a loss of $6 million in modified net revenues instead of the $231.9 million in positive revenues projected at the start of the fiscal year in October. BPA markets power from dams in the Federal Columbia River Power System, and water serves as the fuel that turns hydroelectric turbines.
