WEST PALM BEACH — There are new developments in a story we first brought you earlier this month.

The city of West Palm Beach had notified residents at a local community that their condominium association had not been paying their water bill and the city would turn off the water on Monday, April 28.

That situation has now changed. According to the city, Green Terrace Condominiums, 2800 Georgia Avenue, has declared bankruptcy, which means the water won't be shut off for at least another 30 days. That gives people still living there a little more time to find a place and move out. "I think it's ridiculous in my opinion," said Jessica Galvez, a Green Terrace resident. Galvez has lived at Green Terrace with her family for about 10 years.

The City of West Palm Beach says the condo association at Green Terrace has not been paying its water bill and now has an unpaid city water bill of $1.4 million.

"I would say they haven't paid a water bill in about three years," said Armando Fana, West Palm Beach Assistant City Administrator. "Why has the city allowed that to go on for so long?' we asked him. "One of the things that we've been concerned with is the residents and trying to make sure that the residents aren't dislocated," Fana said.

Because of the $1.4 million unpaid water bill, the city had planned to shut off the water at Green Terrace on April 28, but Green Terrace has declared bankruptcy and the city says they cannot take any action for at least 30 days.

"So in the end are the taxpayers gonna be stuck with a bill for $1.4 million that was never paid by this condo association?" we asked Fana. "No again I don't think so. We've got to work through that condo process, excuse me the bankruptcy process," Fana said.

The city is offering residents at Green Terrace--depending on their income--up to $7,000 to be able to pay security deposit, first and last month's rent so they can move somewhere else.

"It puts a lot of people in very difficult situations. A lot of us have kids. And having to move on such short notice honestly just wasn't fair to anyone within this community," Galvez said.

While we were at Green Terrace, a woman was posting notices on residents' front doors.

"Why have you not been paying the water bill?" we asked the woman, who would not provide her name or identify herself.

The notice she was posting on residents' doors says the Green Terrace board of directors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 25 and because of that utilities will not be shut off and residents can continue living in their units for now.

Green Terrace consists of 84 units owned by various individuals.

That notice that was posted on residents' doors also says quote: "The Association has faced significant challenges over the past decade, including various criminal and civil litigation and substantial mismanagement by previous board members. The current board is actively working to address these issues...."

According to Fana, there are about 30-40 households still living at Green Terrace.
