The Government of Guam evidently hasn't been paying for its fire hydrant services. According to a report issued today by the Office of the Public Auditor on the finances of the Guam Waterworks Authority, $6.3 million is owed in fire hydrant receivables. But not one agency in the island's public sector is actually tasked with paying for these services.

The OPA report notes GWA hasn't determined a solution to the mounting receivables, but plans to address the matter.
