Michael Humphry has been living off of Beaver Valley Pike for four years. Humphry only paid half of his rent for July because he hasn't had running water.
“The day I paid half rent, I got a letter saying I had to vacate in 30 days,” Humphry told News Center 7’s Kayla Courvell.
Humphry said there was an issue with the well and the property owner, Childers Realty, had to create lines to tap into the city’s water.
A call to Childers Realty was ignored, but Courvell made contact with a man working on Childers Realty’s property. The man claimed to be a member of the Childers family.

The man said that a lawyer had instructed them not to comment on the water problems, but he believed they were just waiting on an inspection before the water could be turned on.
Many of the residents are staying put until the water is restored, but Humphry is getting out.
“I’m just trying to find a place to live,” he said.
Humphry said he would have left earlier but is having trouble finding an available place.
