In Margate, Florida, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports:

• Dozens of residents at the Atlantic Palms condominium complex could be evicted from their homes within two weeks if they're unable to pay a city utility bill of more than $7,000. Margate officials say more than 60 of the 76 units at Atlantic Palms, [...] are in different stages of foreclosure, and their homeowners association can't afford to pay the water bill.

• Now, the city has posted notices on residents' doors saying they have until 6 p.m. June 3 to pay their water and sewer fees. If residents don't pay, their water service will be shut off June 7, and they will be forced to leave because of health concerns.
