WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is extremely concerned about water
damage to Units and Common Elements, and the potential ramifications of such
damage to the members of the Association in general, as well as any members
specifically affected due to the damage caused to Units and the Common
Elements and the increase in insurance premiums that result from numerous
water claims.
WHEREAS, changing the hoses for toilet tanks, washers, water heaters,
bathroom sinks, kitchen sinks, dishwashers, and refrigerators with ice makers to
more durable hoses as described below is required for the welfare and safety of
the members of the Association to help prevent future water damage;
NOW, THEREFORE, based on the power authorized to the Board of
Directors and the responsibilities of the Owners, the Board of Directors hereby
adopts the following resolution and makes the provisions below part of the
Association’s rules and regulations:

RULES COVERING THE COSTS OF DAMAGE IF
LESS THAN THE INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE
1. If damage occurs solely to one Unit that is less than the Association’s
insurance deductible, the owner of the Unit shall be responsible for full
payment of the cost for repair, replacement or restoration thereof, unless
the damage was caused by another Unit Owner’s negligence or actions.
2. If damage occurs to more than one Unit but not the Common Elements
that is less than the Association’s insurance deductible, each respective
Unit Owner shall be responsible for full payment of the cost of the repair,
replacement or restoration thereof, unless the damage was caused by
another Unit Owner’s negligence or actions.
3. If damage occurs to one or more Units and to the Common Elements that
is less than the Association’s insurance deductible, the costs of repair,
replacement or restoration thereof shall be prorated based on the
percentage of damage caused to each Unit and the damage caused to the
Common Elements, and each respective Unit Owner shall be responsible
for full payment of his or her pro rata share and the damage caused to the
Common Elements, unless the damage was caused by another Unit
Owner’s negligence or actions.

page 3
4. If damage occurs solely to the Common Elements that is less than the
Association’s insurance deductible, the Association shall be responsible
for the costs of repair, replacement or restoration thereof, unless the
damage was caused by a Unit Owner’s negligence or actions.
5. If damage occurs solely to a Common Element(s) or Limited Common
Element(s) that benefit fewer than all of the Units that is less than the
Association’s insurance deductible, the Association shall be responsible
for the costs of repair, replacement or restoration thereof, and the costs
shall be assessed exclusively against the Units benefited, unless the
damage was caused by another Unit Owner’s negligence or actions.
6. If the negligence or actions of a Unit Owner (or the Owner’s residents,
tenants or guests) causes any of the damage as set forth above, the Unit
Owner shall be responsible for the full costs of repair, replacement or
restoration thereof.
7. The Board of Directors shall determine the costs to be paid by each party
if the amount of damage is less than the Association’s insurance
deductible. Any amount determined to be the payment obligation of a
Unit Owner to repair the Common Elements or any Unit other than the
Owner’s Unit shall be charged to the Owner and collectible in the same
manner as a regular assessment.
8. If damage is caused to the Common Elements that is not covered by
insurance, and if such damage was caused by the negligence or actions of
an Owner, or an Owner’s residents, family, tenants, guests or invitees, the
Association shall charge the cost to repair such damage to the Owner,
which is collectible in the same manner as a regular assessment.
9. Each Owner should be aware of the amount of the Association’s
insurance deductible so that the Owner carries proper insurance coverage
to meet any gaps in insurance coverage.

RULES RELATING TO PAYMENT OF INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLES
1. In the event that loss or damage covered by the Association’s insurance
policy is caused by the negligence or willful act of a Unit Owner, the
Owners residents, family, guests, tenants or invitees, or from unknown
causes within the Unit without any negligence being attributable, such
Unit Owner shall be liable for the full amount of any deductible on the
Association’s insurance policy.

page 4
2. In the event that more than one Unit is involved in any insured loss, and
the cause of the damage cannot be attributable to any one Unit or Owner,
the deductible will be proportionately distributed among all Units who
have experienced the loss.
3. In the event that the cause of the insured loss is directly attributable to a
failure in operation of a Common Element, the Association shall pay the
deductible.

RULES REGARDING INSURANCE CLAIM PROCEDURES
1. Nothing herein shall relieve a Unit Owner of the absolute and primary
responsibility to insure their property, including their condominium Unit,
pursuant to the requirements of the Association’s Declaration. In the
event a Unit Owner or resident is insured for any loss to the condominium
Unit or their property, the Association shall be entitled to require the Unit
Owner or resident to claim any loss under such Owner or resident’s
insurance policy.
2. Unit Owners must file all claims on the Associations policies with the
Association’s managing agent, not with the Association’s insurance
agent. The managing agent will not refer the claim to the Association’s
insurance agent until the Unit Owner provides proof that the claim
exceeds the applicable insurance deductible.
3. The Association shall disburse insurance proceeds pursuant to the
requirements of Section 9.6 of the Declaration.

RULES RELATING TO MAINTAINING UNITS TO HELP PREVENT WATER LEAKS
1. Each Owner must provide the name of the Owner’s insurance company,
agent name, address and telephone number to the Association within
forty-five (45) days from the date that the Association requests this
information.
2. Each Owner shall install steel-braided toilet tank fill hoses with steel
connectors and ball valve shutoffs at the wall. These will replace the fill

page 5
hoses with plastic connectors at the toilet tank and screw-type shutoff
valves. This provision is not applicable if the Owner has installed braided
fill hoses with steel connectors and ball valve shutoffs.
3. Each Owner shall install steel-braided washer hoses to replace plain
rubber hoses provided at purchase. This provision is not applicable if the
Owner has installed steel-braided hoses.
4. Each Owner shall install copper, steel-braided, or nylon mesh tubing on
ice maker refrigerators to replace plain plastic tubing. This provision is
not applicable if the Owner has already installed authorized tubing as
described above.
5. Each Owner shall install steel-braided hoses with steel connectors and
ball valve shutoffs at the wall connecting any and all bathroom or kitchen
sink(s) to its water supply.
6. Each Owner shall install copper or steel-braided hoses with steel
connectors on any and all dishwasher water connections.
7. Each Owner shall install copper or steel-braided hoses with steel
connectors on any and all water heater connections. Each Owner shall
also install water heater catch pans and water drainage lines where
installation of the water drainage lines is feasible.
8. If an Owner leaves a Unit vacant for more than seven (7) days, the Owner
shall shut off the water to the Unit. If the Owner is on a common water
line and cannot shut off all of the water to the Unit, the Owner shall shut
off all water valves inside of the Unit to shut off water to the Unit to the
greatest extent possible. Furthermore, if an Owner leaves a Unit vacant
for more than two (2) weeks, the Owner shall have a person perform
weekly inspections of the Unit to ensure that no water leaks or other
damage has occurred to the Unit.
9. Each Owner shall provide the Association with an emergency contact
person with appropriate contact information, including telephone number.

ADDITIONAL OWNER OBLIGATIONS
1. Any Owner, member of the Owner’s family, Owner’s resident(s),
tenant(s), or guest(s) is prohibited from throwing or flushing any foreign
object (i.e., any item that is not intended to enter into the sewer/plumbing

page 6
system) into the sewer/plumbing system, including, but not limited to,
female hygiene products, and paper products, other than toilet paper.
2. Each Owner shall be responsible for the repair or service upon a
sewer/plumbing line situated within a Unit at his or her own expense,
whether or not such need for repair or service is caused by any foreign
object or the like.
3. In the event that a foreign object, as discussed in paragraph 1 of this
section, has caused the need for repair or service upon a sewer/plumbing
line that serves the Common Elements or forms part of any system
serving more than one Unit, the cost of such repair or service shall be
charged and assessed against such Owner and such assessment shall be
collected in the same manner as a regular assessment.
