Residents at Gables Vista Apartments in Cherry Creek are nearing their fourth day without running water, with no end in sight. Many are also dealing with flooded apartments after a pipe repair failed twice.
Now, some residents are frustrated by what they say is poor communication on behalf of apartment management.
“I haven’t had water since Thursday morning, about 7 or 8 a.m.,” said Johnathan Margheret, a two-year Gables Vista resident. “Feels like camping, right? So we haven’t showered, haven’t used the bathroom in my apartment since then because we can’t flush the toilet.”
Gables Vista residents were told by management that the apartment’s water would be shut off on Thursday for pipe repairs. Repairs took longer than expected, and management said water would be back on by Friday morning.
“Living off of bottled water, washing your hands with bottled water, trying to brush my teeth with it,” Margheret said.
