This is easy.

Determine what you are being charged for water. If your water source is free, then research water fee structures in nearby communities, cities, or locations.

Usually, water fees are described in units of one hundred cubic feet (CcF) of water, equal to 748 gallons.

An American family of four can use 30 gallons of water per day per person or just under five CcFs per month. This is an estimate, an average.

You can bracket usage, to make it easier to establish the use fees. For example:

  • 0-3 CcF (base fee, may be included in basic 'water fee')
  • 4-8 CcF
  • 9-12 CcF
  • 13-17 Ccf

At some point, you can charge more for single CcFs.

In addition, consider landscape maintenance, pool water use and so forth. This means that you can reasonably apportion home use by use, and landscape and pool water by overall use, divided by the number of owners.

Owners who wash their cars on the property should pay for that water use. You can add that caveat -- and others as appropriate -- to your fee schedule.

Does condo association insurance cover broken water pipes outside?

Read your governing documents to determine who owns the water pipe. If the pipes are for the sole use of a single owner, then the pipe may be considered 'limited common area', and the owner may be responsible for repair. The association may make the repair, then charge the owner. If the pipes are for the use of everyone in the community, such as pipes for a sprinkler system, then the association's policy may cover the cost of repair. Usually, one party is responsible for the repair and one party is responsible for paying for the repair. The 'one party' may be the same party, or it may be different parties.

Who is responsible for multi-level condo hot water heater breakage?

When a hot water tank leaks in a multi-family residence, there are several scenarios for who fixes and who pays for the fixes caused by the water damage, and they may be different First, as the owner of the tank, you may have first responsibility to pay. The association probably has responsibility to fix any damage. Second, if the association has taken over responsibility for hoses, drains, water heater tanks and other potential leak sources and the board failed to inspect the heater as scheduled, then the association may be responsible for both. Third, if the heater is shared by multiple units, and is not a tank, but an 'always hot' green, tank-less heater, the owner(s) of the plumbing fixture may be responsible to pay for the repairs and the association is responsible to affect the repairs.

Who is responsible in a Miami for a water damage in a condominiums?

Responsibility depends on the details. For example, if the bathroom in the unit above yours springs a leak and damages your bathroom the upstairs owner is responsible for the damages. If water seeps in from some outside source it may take an expert to determine who is responsible for repairs. Water leaks and damage must be attended to immediately. Call your association board or association manager to report the situation.

The entire chimney interior needs to be rebuilt. Is a fireplace rebuild paid by the owner or condo association?

Read your governing documents to determine who owns the fireplace. If it belongs to the unit, then you pay; if it belongs to the association as a common element, then the association pays. Fireplaces -- and water-related assets -- are problematic, since when such an asset fails within a unit, other units are generally also involved. The savvy association monitors, inspects and repairs these kinds of amenities, for the general protection of the community.
