According to her lawyer, it's illegal:

There's a deliberate action by the homeowner's association that's not only illegal, but they're trespassing on her property," Fernandez stated. "They're taking rights away from her that are under the constitution and they're also violating Florida laws."

Fernandez says, under Florida statutes, an association can suspend use of amenities like a community pool or workout room. They can also suspend their voting rights for community issues. But Fernandez says the law does not say water -- a necessity -- can be cut.

Given that she has a disabled daughter, whether legal or not, it seems immoral to me.
