A fund created to help Detroiters pay their water bills is getting $200,000 from United Way and the charitable arms of two auto companies.
The donations were revealed Monday.
The new Detroit Water Fund will pay a portion of overdue water bills if customers owe at least $300, pay 10 percent and meet other qualifications.
United Way for Southeastern Michigan is contributing $100,000, while the Ford Motor Co. Fund & Community Services and the General Motors Foundation are giving $50,000 each.
The water fund was created in response to criticism about Detroit's aggressive shut-off policy.
Water shutoffs related to unpaid bills will resume after Aug. 25.
