recently, a "notice of water suspension in arrears" issued by taizhou luqiao water co., ltd. was posted at the entrance of longhu lijing community, tongyu street, luqiao district, taizhou city, zhejiang province, which aroused residents' onlookers and heated discussions.
the notice shows that longhu lijing community has owed more than 120,000 yuan in water bills. if it continues to fail to pay, taizhou luqiao water co., ltd. will suspend water supply to the entire community on october 9. the notice stated that wuhua property company had been urged to pay the debt several times, but it had not yet been paid. (according to the paper news on september 29)
notice
the problem of water outage is directly related to the daily life and well-being of residents. the entire community suddenly received a water cutoff notice, which was really unexpected for residents who paid their water bills on time. the reason is very simple. the water bills of the community are usually collected by the property management company and then transferred to the water company. however, according to the property management company, the property management company did not pay the water bill to the water company because the residents of the community did not pay in full. in addition, due to the failure to pay off the water bills accumulated in the property in a timely manner, and the previous unsettled payments, the total arrears eventually reached 120,000 yuan. the amount of debt owed is not small, which shows that the seriousness of the problem is extraordinary.
of course, according to relevant parties, the property management company is not deliberately in arrears, but is experiencing difficulties in capital turnover. some owners are in arrears with property fees, and factors such as rising labor and material costs have caused the company to be unable to make ends meet. because some of the demolished households refused to pay property fees, they had to tear down the east wall to pay for the west wall. they had no choice but to divert the water bills for use. it can be said that they are linked together. the default behavior of some owners not only affects the normal operation of the property, but also indirectly affects the interests of other owners. it should also be added here that property fees are an important source of funds for the normal operation of the community, and it is the owner's obligation to pay property fees on time. this not only facilitates the operation of the community, but also facilitates ourselves.
this phenomenon indeed reflects the common difficulties currently faced by some property companies. imbalance in revenue and expenditure leads to shortage of funds and operational difficulties. however, no matter how difficult the property management is, one should not pass on its own operating difficulties to all residents of the community. as the management service provider of the community, the property management company has the responsibility to ensure the basic living needs of the residents of the community. this is the primary issue and no excuses should be made.
in essence, there are still certain loopholes in property management. repeated instances of delinquency on utility bills indicate a lack of effective planning and supervision of property management of funds and payment of fees. if a small number of owners default on property fees, they just let things go without trying to actively solve the problem. instead, they default on other fees on the grounds of arrears, causing small matters to become larger and big ones to explode. how can such management effectiveness be convincing? property management must ensure the normal operation of the community, establish a sound financial management system, and ensure that fees collected can be paid to relevant departments in a timely and full amount. there is no room for maneuver on this point.
this also extends to another question - can water bills be misappropriated at will? the incident exposed the property's improper use of funds. the operating status and expense usage of property management companies are not blind and cannot be changed at will. they should be subject to stricter supervision and management to avoid similar incidents. whether it is establishing a sound property supervision system, strengthening the daily supervision and assessment of property companies, or imposing severe penalties on property companies that violate regulations, the purpose is to make community public services more stable and reliable.
