I live in a large apartment community serviced by MINOL for water and sewer. I am moving out at the end of this month. I tend to lose track of the MINOL bills, but I paid it in full today. I called to verify through the automated system, and it is stating a zero balance. I certainly never received a turnoff notice. Water seems to be working fine in the common areas of the apartment. It is freezing outside, and our property management recording does not give a maintenance emergency number. Water was running when I came home (I did a load of laundry and did some other random tasks). It seems unlikely that any kind of shutoff would occur at 9:30 at night. The only thing I can think of is that I extended my lease and my original lease was to end on 02/04. Is there any chance that they had me on some kind of automatic shutoff? I've never known the pipes to freeze around here, and, like I said, it is running in the common areas. It is too late to ask a neighbor.

Just asked a neighbor -- their water is off too. Sorry for the confusing post. I am not confused as to whether I renewed my lease or not. I went month-to-month for one month beyond the original end-of-lease date, and was wondering management somehow automatically terminates water to the apartment after lease-end and forgot that I was here. I'm just north of DC. It's cold, but water seems to be running elsewhere in the complex, just not in our section. Thanks again.

I would say that since you live in an apartment complex with other apartments as well, I wouldn't worry about it right now...
In the morning ask the managers what is going on...
I don't understand why you don't know if you renewed your lease or not...
But you are probably surrounded by common walls and your pipes will stay insulated because of that...
Not to worry...

Might be frozen somewhere, in a line to your apartment. Usually water is not shut-off, just pro-rated. Get on this right away.. you have a problem somewhere and the sooner you resolve, less likely there will be a water line burst and water damage.
Do you flush toilet...does water fill the tank? Is it hot and cold? Tub? Kitchen faucet?
