Frank – congratulations on an innovative, expedient, and not entirely legal solution, unless of course the amount of your Plan’s expenditure on the WaterFix® project was budgeted for at a General Meeting, and the individual Lot Owners or Residents and not the Owners Corporation (O/C) were the authorised recipients of that highly subsidised service.
Regrettably, our Plan is not in Sydney Water’s area so WaterFix® is not an option for our Owners, but that leads me to another matter that I believe your O/C, as the body who’s really responsible for the maintenance of the whole of the complex, should investigate before committing to the fitting of those wireless water meters.
That matter is whether the O/C is or can be legally authorised to on-sell Sydney Water’s potable supply, because that’s what you’re proposing unless of course Sydney Water is going to itself read those meters and invoice the Lot Owners directly.
I’d be interested to know how you go with that.
