Just gonna point out, if the HOA owns the water system for the neighborhood privately, then submetered utilities will need to be measured and reported by the HOA or a third party in contract with the HOA. Thus, submetering service costs increases an individual’s monthly cost of water (though they were like also overpaying for the water before, so that the HOA funds have a buffer).
Also the $180 HOA fee certainly was not just for water.
