Wet Rooms

Pepe has been in contact with Mi Sol Lawyers, regarding the legal position of the Wet Rooms.

The situation would seem to be as follows, at this moment in time :-

We are obliged to provide toilet facilities.

The two we have at the moment do not constitute the minimum number required.

We are not allowed to charge Owners for using theses facilities.

Interestingly, we are NOT obliged to provide HOT WATER.

Pepe has proposed building a third Male and Female Wet Room, plus an Invalid Room, sited at the lower end of Mi Sol. This seems fair, given the other two are at the top and centre of the Park.

The cost will be in excess of 4000 Euro, Pepe has promised to give me a copy of the quotation, which will be posted here.

The specification calls for light switches fitted with automatic timers, and taps with automatic shut off valves. These will also be fitted to the other Wet Rooms. No hot water will be supplied.
The electric boilers are the most expensive part of operating the Wet Rooms, which are mainly used in the Summer holiday period.

Pepe has left the decision of whether to proceed with this project or not, to me.

Later today I will be consulting with as many Committee members as possible to elicit their opinions. The views of the majority will prevail.

After consideration of the legal position, and reading the specification, I have reluctantly concluded it would probably be in the best interests of Mi Sol to proceed with the project.
It would give all owners equal access to facilities we are apparently legally bound to provide, despite the decision of the AGM of September 2007, when a majority voted to close all shower blocks.
Hopefully it would also pre-empt further possible legal action through the Courts by Paco and his supporters, which in the end would almost certainly cost the Community more than the installation of a couple of showers and toilets.
