I share a well with my neighbor we have 2 dwelling condo. My unit
concest
of myself, and her unit has 3 people as of now. We share the
following
which are all connected to my electric
Meter... well pump, water conditioner system, electric base board
heater
that keeps the pump room warm during the winter all in a room in my
garage. Also a sprinkle system that shared on the front property.
It's
a
50/50 shared property. She had nationally agreed with hand shake
when
she bought the unit next to me back November 2014, I came up with a
charge $ 50.00 which she agreed and was paying this till past May
2015
she stopped paying her monthly obligation To me. I was willing to
drop
the price down, she putting up a fight. She is reneging On
everything, I
had no choice put to seek legal advice and the issue is still not
resolved. She wanted to use a kill- a- watt gizmo in my garage, I'm
Not her landlord to be checking each day that this gizmo is
functioning
Right, and again given her the convenience Every month timeing this
and
that off my electric bill. I think not... It's not the long term
solution,
especially if I want to sell my unit no one wants to be involved
with a
gizmo. Then my neighbors chopped up with a internet chart from
Runstone
Electric Association energy from
Alexandra M,N from 2014, We live here in New Jersey not M,N. The
chart
says it varies from family to family. She only wants to pay $ 15.00
a
month for her Calculations We're wrong from that chart, also there
was
no mention how much a sprinkler system runs on electric, my neighbor
has
no idea.... I think the best solution would be a second well... Do
you
have any other ideas, well can be costly, she would have to pay half
since it's a shared property..

Is there no mention of this arrangement in the property deeds?

I think it would be easier and cheaper to put in a separate electric
meter for the common elements. Another thought is to have your own
private water meters installed. Get a quote from a plumber and maybe
they can be installed where everyone can read them.

big bucks to the utility company for the new service, though.


Speaking of the utility company, I wonder what their minimum
monthly
charge is.
