Piped water misuse.

Just saw a memo from the Management. Residents stealing piped water? Unbelievable!

I suppose it can happen. The house concerned might have not paid their monthly RM150.00 maintenanace fees, and according to the terms of occupancy a failure to pay such fees shall make it liable for the water meter be disconnected by the Management. Sometime back it happened to the previous tenant above my apartment. Anyway, then tenant took it upon himself to bridge, using a rubber hose, the incoming pipe to the pipe supplying water to his house. Viola he got water. But that is stealing.

I suppose that must have happened in some apartments where the water supply has been disconnected for not abiding by the conditions of the maintenance contract.

The Management must be serious. They will impose RM300.00 on anyone (or apartment) found stealing, back interest will be charged (?), and a fee for meter re-installation at RM100.00.

Good for the Management. Only way to teach the defaulters of the maintenance fees.
