Condo Q&A

Financially pressed condo association gets the water turned off

I live in 32 year old condos (35 units) built as senior housing but not age restricted and the association is financially pressed. A water pipe broke under the common driveway/in a private use common area in front of another unit. The water for the whole property was turned off without notice, no water is being provided by truck. It was not an emergency--there was some water dribbling into the driveway but not flooding and there are no workman. How long are they allowed to keep the water off. I have half-washed clothes, dirty dishes, we can not flush toilets etc. There are infants in the complex. This seems like a health hazard.
