Ownership dispute leaves family of eight without water
Ella Doss and seven of her eight children live in a two story duplex at 1446 Bever Ave SE with no water since Monday. A legal fight over who owns the building leaves them trapped as water remains shut off and the family cannot pay more rent to move. Authorities issued an emergency 48 hour notice to Stokesberry to restore service, while landlords and representatives argue over ownership and responsibilities.
