Sorry Judy, but it was not obvious to me as it was not also to Tom and others that it was one OP with 2 usernames. I do understand how AMHD works and try my best to answer questions in the plumbing industry only, which I am sure my expertise as a plumber for 46 years qualifies me to answer. Most disagreements with other plumbers are due to differences in plumbing codes in different areas of the country since there is no National Plumbing Code. Would be interested in your plumbing backround. No disrespect intented.

This question has elements of law as well as plumbing. The plumbing issue is where the leak was with respect to the meter. Once that was determined the law takes over. So a plumbing background is not 100% necessary to help this OP.

No disrespect intended - I have no idea why this is posted under plumbing. It's a legal question. I don't need to be a plumber to answer. For that matter people post VERY incorrect info (which is not the case here) and it's the OP's choice whether to take (believe) the "advice" or not.

The OP asked about the legality, and that's what I answered. I realized you didn't suspect it was one person with two names. I did. I don't know why that's a problem for you.

For that matter, please stop attempting to dictate who will and who will not answer ANY question. ("... not from Mollypup or JUDYKAYTEE in order to give a helpful response").

I'd likewise be interested in your legal background in light of the title "florida condo law."

Well it becomes a problem for me judy when I'm involved with answering one OP and another name starts to answer for the first OP{. Looks like the thread's being hijacked. I don't know how you arrived at the revelation that the names were the same person but you sure impressed me with your detective work. How did you figure it out?
And you're correct it's a legal problem but it's a problem that fell into the plumbing end of things. Regards, Tom

I think the plumbing issue had to be solved before the legal question could be answered, so I think it's 50/50. Doesn't matter, of course.

I thought this was a good clue - I doubted a third party would have this info. "I only know wahat the plumber's bill stated. So, I guess I'm stuck with the insane water bill"

I don't have any secret source about the two names. As you know, that's what I do for a living. I have pretty good intuition.

I figured it out too, but mostly from experience. The thread was started too recently and the Molly was clearly talking about what appeared to be the same situation.
