Residents of a Red Bank apartment complex didn’t have water for nearly 24 hours this week because the landlord hadn’t paid the bill, a water company spokeswoman said today.
“We’ve been working with our customer, which is the landlord, and unfortunately the tenants are the ones who suffer through it,” Tennessee-American Water spokeswoman Kim Dalton said.
The water service to Cambridge Park Apartments, at 621 Memorial Drive off Dayton Boulevard, was turned off at 11 a.m. Wednesday and back on at 10:49 a.m. Thursday, Ms. Dalton said.
She said the company had worked with the landlord, whose name she could not release, for a few months and signed a notarized payment agreement in late December that “was broken yesterday.”
She said the landlord paid the bill Wednesday morning.
