Seniors told to stop paying water bills, now told to pay hundreds after complex began having leaks
Seniors living in a Henry County senior complex say they were instructed to stop paying on their water bills after the property began having water leaks. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Carmen Dismuke and Lyndell Mayes, renters at The Villa at Mount Zion, are among a growing number of seniors struggling with unexpectedly high water bills. 'This one is $321,' says Dismuke, holding up her latest water bill. Mayes adds, 'We're seniors, we can only afford so much.' They told Channel 2 investigative reporter Ashli Lincoln bills that once hovered around $20 earlier this year have climbed sharply. Mayes recalls, 'At the start of 2024, I was paying around $20. By the end of the year, it grew to more than $100.' Dismuke shares her frustration: 'I don't understand the bill being so high.' Dismuke said she believes the spike was due to constant water leaks in her unit, which have since been repaired. However, 'The bill never went down; every bill was the same.'

'She told us, everything we got a bill, bring it to her. Therefore, we're not paying a bill and we're taking it to the rent lady,' Mayes said. Now, however, management is urging tenants to pay what they can. 'Just pay whatever you can,' Dismuke says. Attempts to contact the leasing office have been unsuccessful, as no one was available during visits. An email sent to the property's corporate office received a statement that says in part: 'They are currently investigating the issue and expect to respond by Tuesday.' Follow-up attempts have so far yielded no further updates. 'We don't want our water to be turned off,' Dismuke says. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

‘Hard to let her go;' Military dog retires, reunites with handler of 3 years
Military members at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base got together to wish a four-legged friend a happy retirement. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] After eight years of service, several deployments, 86 secret service missions, and over 3,000 hours of anti-terrorism measures, Misha finally gets to rest. 'She's ready to go on the couch now,' Senior Airman Henry Vernon said. Vernon was Misha's last handler. 'I feel at home with her. She felt like a very good partner,' Vernon said. In the short few months they worked together, they traveled all the way to India.

He said it's hard to let her go, but he knows she's in good hands. 'I am Misha's previous handler of three years. I've just recently got out of active duty service, and I'm going to be taking Misha home after the ceremony today,' Kyle Runk said. Runk has many memories with Misha. 'Going out to the Caterpillar factory during bomb threats and protecting a school from a bomb threat as well. Seeing how these dogs work and how they're 'man's best friend,' as they say,' he said. But being by her side after retirement might be his most exciting mission with Misha yet. 'She's been around and done a lot of things for the Air Force and the community around her. Well-deserved retirement then for sure,' Runk said. Runk said that the transition for Misha will be a breeze because apparently she's always loved kicking back on the couch and playing with her toys.

Inspired by faith, DeKalb County church goes solar with 340 panels
Solar panels are now installed under the cross on the roof of Dunwoody United Methodist Church. Channel 2's Berndt Petersen said it is the answer to a question the congregation had been wrestling with. 'What are we going to do to be better stewards of the location God has given us in Dunwoody, now Sunwoody?' Senior Pastor Phil Schroeder asked. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Sunwoody is an appropriate name now that this church has gone solar. 'This is a 152-kilowatt solar energy system. It's 340 Georgia made solar panels,' Sunpath Solar CEO Seth Gunning said. Gunning said the panels will power more than 20% of the church's energy needs and cut the power bill by nearly $15,000 a year. 'God has gifted us with this planet, but it has limited resources. The best way to be stewards of that gift is to adopt sustainable practices,' Dunwoody City Council Member Tom Lambert said. The church partnered with nonprofit Georgia Interfaith Power and Light, and the Georgia Bright program to reach a solar goal set six years ago and also to fulfill an even higher calling. 'We want to take care of the creation that has been entrusted to us since the very beginning,' Schroeder said.
