If the Association is paying for the water, that means that this must be condos or townhouses, not individual houses.

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. 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. |

It says it had to borrow money from its reserves to pay a water bill that was $65,000 over budget.
Some examples it cites are over-washing cars, filling children’s wading pools and spraying down sidewalks. The association also claims 75 percent of the tenants are renters who are not conservation conscious. The HOA says the locked spigots are in the outdoor common areas Good lockout. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Huh hard to believe the hoa agreements says they can do that 1) HOA's suck. 2) Never live in an HOA 3) I live in an HOA 4) I am the President of our HOA 5) We have plans to do the same thing: put locks on the spigots around the complex to eliminate water waste by residents 6) While it hasn't been tested, we (the board) believe this to be totally legal and within the rights of the board to take action. ETA: We're in the midst of a serious (no joke) drought here. We have had numerous community meetings asking residents to curtail their usage. They don't. We see (mostly the renters) WASTING water like there is no end to it....washing their garage doors with a hose....having their kids have 'water fights'....washing their sidewalks with a hose (use a fucking broom, assholes...)....kiddie pools...washing cars (already prohibited in HOA CC&R's). Our water bill last year was over 300% of our normal budget. This put us into a higher tier for billing with the DWP, and our bill went through the literal roof. The board pays the DWP bill. We had to pay it from our reserve account and then were forced (we our obligated by our fiduciary responsibility) to make an assessment (paid by all the owners) to cover the shortage. I don't have kids. I don't particularly want to pay more every month so some renter can have his kids have water balloon fights. DON'T LIVE IN AN HOA...............this was my first home and I didn't know any better. NEVER AGAIN.

Yea, sounds like they did the "right thing".
Next it sounds like it's time for the HOA to collect all dues owed to it so the ones who are paying are not covering freeloaders. Then, sounds like homeboy needs to buy a bucket and fill it up in the tub if he can't use the community water which has been abuse. |

The spigot and water don't belong to the homeowner. It may sting a bit - but no real foul.

Shim it open with a piece of sheet metal. Water all of your shit, and then put the lock back on. Play dumb with the HOA.
Or, just run a hose from an indoor faucet. |

It's not like they went to individually owned single family homes and padlocked the spigot. I can't believe they even had that to begin with. Every apartment complex I lived at didn't even have a common spigot, for the very reason this article points out: if people aren't paying for it, they don't care about wasting it needlessly, or abusing the option. |

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.
