How can we create a fee schedule for water use in our Home Owner association?

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.
Does an Illinois condo owner have to submit a claim on their own insurance even if damages were caused by another condo owner's water leak?
This kind of unfortunate situation that occurs in multi-family housing must be addressed on two levels:First, identify the source, stop the leak, repair what's causing it, and clean up the damage.Second, pay for identifying, stopping, repairing and cleaning up.Generally, water and its damage trespasses beyond the source of the water and passes through several layers of ownership, including the association's common elements -- walls, ceilings, floors.Best practices dictate that the association become involved as soon as water is detected as free-flowing within the structure. Sometimes, an owner knows immediately that the bath has overflowed, the aquarium has burst, the window leaks, and so forth. Other times, the water is only detected when the owner below or beside the source notices bubbles in the ceiling.Regardless, at first sight, involve the association. Water damage demands immediate attention, because of its exponential damage if left unattended: mold always develops and mold is generally excluded from insurance coverage.Once the association is involved, the master policy holder becomes involved. Your association is responsible for involving your HO-6 policy carrier, so that if your coverage is engaged, it's done by the master insurance policy holder.If, however, your unit is the source of free-flowing water, your policy may be responsible for primary coverage.Contact your broker and report the precise details of your situation for a more precise answer to your individual question.
