We left our HOA due to a well Loop Hole

We lived on the edge street of our HOA. It was discovered that the way the bylaws were written, it all hinged on if you were connected to the community well.

We rallied 44 people on our street to connect to municipal water. We found a government grant and got a bulk price from a lawyer and plumber and got our costs down from about 12k a house to 3k a house.

Then we worked with the city who agreed to the street work for connection.

So I (and others who left) literally have HOA members on 3 sides (and across the street from another HOA), but we are no longer in any HOA!

So read your bylaws people! There may be a way out!

TO ADD: This also created an effect where people not on interior streets could dig their own well and leave the HOA.

We literally made the HOA map look like Swiss cheese!
