A Summerville woman is facing multiple citations after allegedly tampering with and illegally using city utilities. According to a police report released this week, Summerville Police responded to a call at 111 Orchard Road on March 26th, 2025, regarding a theft of services. Upon arrival, officers met with a Summerville City Water employee who reported that the water meter at the residence had been destroyed and the lock securing it had been cut. The report also indicated that the lock on the gas meter had been similarly compromised. Police interviewed the homeowner, identified as Donna Daniel, who reportedly admitted to knowing her utilities had been shut off but continued to use them. Ms. Daniel was subsequently cited for the damages to the utility meters and for the unauthorized usage of gas and water. The police report detailed the estimated cost of the damages, including $175 for the destroyed water meter, $200 each for the water and gas meter locks, a $200 cut-off fee, and $363.90 for the gas used. City Maintenance officials were unable to determine the amount of water consumed due to the destruction of the water meter.
