North Lauderdale has cracked the whip after unsuccessfully waiting years for a condo community to pay pending water bills.

Late last year, the city shot off a letter to the property manager of The Palms that water to the community would be shut off if it did not clear its dues, totaling more than $13,500, by Jan. 15. The deadline wasn’t met, but the city succeeded in getting a written promise from the new homeowners’ association that the money would be paid within a month.
