ATLANTA - Atlanta water officials have denied extra time for Morris Brown College to pay its past-due $214,000 water bill.

Atlanta Watershed Management spokeswoman Jennifer Carlile says the college sought a 30-day extension to pay, but the bill must be paid on Tuesday or the water service will be shut off.

With 160 students this semester, the college had only $35,000 earmarked for the water bill after an art auction Saturday.

Interim president Stanley Pritchett says the college hopes to have a plan to present to the city on Monday. It's unclear when water service would be cut off.

The water was shut off in December because of nonpayment of bills.
Service was restored after the college made a $100,000 payment just after New Year's Day.
