A Fort Wayne man has donated $5,000 to help area residents pay their water bills, Fort Wayne City Utilities said Wednesday.
Bryan Statz was inspired to donate the money when he heard of a Florida man who had done something similar.
“I ve been fortunate during the pandemic. But I know that s not the case for all our neighbors and friends in the community,” Statz said. “When I heard about the donation to help with water bills, I thought this was an amazing way to help those in need and take some of the pressure off during the pandemic.”
