Macon tenants concerned about potential water shut-off at two apartment complexes

MACON, Ga. (WGXA) -- Residents of another Macon apartment community are at risk of having their water shut off by the Macon Water Authority.

Tenants of Shadowood West and Hidden Lakes Apartments, located just off Mercer University Drive, found notices on their doors Wednesday from the MWA that their water utilities may soon be shut off for non-payment. Both complexes are operated by the Atlanta-based South East Asset Management company, also called Seams.

"Where's the money going? Because we're paying the bill, and we don't know what happened. All we know is the Macon Water Authority was here putting notices on every door. So we're questioning why the water is getting cut off when we're paying collectively with the rent," said one concerned resident of Hidden Lakes Apartments, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation from management.

"The last thing we want to do is interrupt services for our customers. We have reached out to the apartment complexes that we need to contact, and we're waiting to hear back from them, said President and Executive Director of the Macon Water Authority, Ron Shipman.

WGXA has reached out to the individual apartment complexes and the corporate office for South East Asset Management Services. So far, we are still waiting to receive a response.
