County Turns On The Tap At S. Florida Condo Ravaged By Maintenance Fee Delinquencies, Foreclosures

The Miami Herald reports:
  • Water is flowing again at the 310-unit Miarassou Condos in Miami-Dade County. County officials shut off water to the residents earlier in the week because the condo's association bounced a check and failed to pay a $109,000 past due bill. Condo residents say the problem stems from a large number of foreclosures - roughly a third of the units are bank-owned or in foreclosure. After the county turned off the water, residents allegedly tampered with the meter to keep it running illegally. On Thursday evening, the county and the association agreed on a payment plan, and the water was turned on again.
