Quote HistoryQuoted: It's most likely a spigot in the common area that people use to water the plants and stuff that they have on their terraces. It may have been allowed in the past, but with the water prices going up they put a stop to it. The man in the article can use a watering can for his roses like everyone else. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Huh hard to believe the hoa agreements says they can do that It's most likely a spigot in the common area that people use to water the plants and stuff that they have on their terraces.

I suspect this is correct. Condominiums or townhouses of some sort and communal spigots for outdoor watering. I cannot imagine an HOA that pays for water for a community of single family homes. |

Water faucets in common areas; i.e., the FSA is using association water, not their own.
Good locks. (Not really, I think California has earned its water troubles by squandering a rare resource in the desert.) |

I like all the illiterate people here who are getting up in arms about the article. Just goes to show who doesn't read. The locked spigots are in the common area! Paid for by the HOA. Use your own damn water spigot on your house! Pay for your own water! Jeebus Christ people! |

$65,000 over budget on water just for some outside spigots?
Horse fucking shit. You're telling me they used 30,000,000 gallons of water in a month? What the fuck are they doing, filling an olympic size pool a week? |

What the fuck are they doing, filling an olympic size pool a week? Not at all. The article doesn't specify the period for which they're over budget. If this were for a 12-month period, that's $5400 over per month. You could easily achieve that through wasted usage, especially if the association covers a large number of units. Also, with tiered-billing...the more water used, the more the utility charges per gallon. |

What the fuck are they doing, filling an olympic size pool a week? $65K over for the year as best I can tell. We don't know how many units (can't find the name of the complex.) Also, they may be getting some sort of fines from their water district for not cutting use. Cutting HOA uses may be their first line of defense for fines as residents could be renters who don't care. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
i have no idea why people tolerate fucking HOAs. It's like voluntarily living in a totalitarian state....all you do is change the titles of the people 'in charge'. I don't even think the Nazis had laws about what color you painted your house, or what type of shingles you could use. They wouldn't ban flag poles / german flags either. HOAs do though. Fuck those MFers. I'd rather live in a 'hood that made 1980s Beirut seem calm than live in an HOA. I'd rather live in a Detroit hood with a whore house to the left and a crack house to the right. If every house in America was ruled by an HOA, I'd buy a motorhome. Fuck that shit with a rusty hatchet. Many places in CA have HOA's and you really have no option if you want to live anywhere near where you desire. In most cases you can get elected to the HOA board and run things yourself if you have a couple days a month to burn. Also keep in mind that CA is only liberal in 3 major population centers. San Fran, Los Angeles, and Sacramento. All the eastern part of the state (rural farm lands and desert) and places like SD, OC and the sierras/rural regions to the north and very conservative. 3 population centers filled with lowlifes, handout wanters and drug using college kids are the ones running the state. You cant shit talk the rest of the state (95% of the land area) I used to know some shooters and hunters from CA that were blood thirsty conservatives that would make AFR shit their pants being so far right of the general population here. There are more right wing conservative people in CA than in many southern states COMBINE. Its just their voices are shutout by the hordes of takers that vote in handouts. Here is a rough map/general idea 
another one (last governor race) 
pres election bush vs. gore (colors are inverted, red-democrat)

The HOA says the locked spigots are in the outdoor common areas and that water systems inside the homes are not affected. They shut off communal area spigots that people were using to wash their cars in order to avoid running up their own water bills. I have no problem with this. |

It also says in addition to padlocks the water has been shut off to them anyway, but that doesn't stop the silly little GD chest-thumpers from posting their dumbass bolt cutter memes and whatnot. |

Oh how the truth is so damaging to the GD narrative... Not sure what the situation is here, but when I lived in a condo I didn't have a water spigot outside my unit. There was a designated "car wash" location, and we were forbidden from washing our cars in our own driveways. I much prefer my current home on three acres ... |

I hate HOA's, I had to deal with them this week over my unleashed, highly trained shepherd stepping outside 3 feet to take a piss and go back inside. However, in this situation, the FSA need to STFU and good for the HOA board.

If it is anything like here in NH, Your septic/sewer bill is calculated by how much water that you use. That will also ad more cost to the HOA. You guys who are attacking the HOA dont have a clue. The HOA is a nonprofit business so they do what they can to keep the cost down for the members. But the members who are renting these units out are running a business inside the HOA. That could be against the HOA By_laws but it is not being enforced by the HOA. That is there own stupidity. What the report should have done is broken down the cost per CF of water and if there are any penalties involved. |

If you live in an HOA and have a problem with how its run, get on the damn board. In most cases its as easy as running for it at election time each year since most people are too lazy to give a damn. Then you call the shots.
