ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Tenants at The Morgan apartment complex in south St. Petersburg woke up with running water on Thursday morning, but the relief may be temporary.

City holds off for now

What we know:

The City of St. Petersburg confirmed it would not shut off service Thursday, despite a warning issued earlier this month that unpaid water bills could lead to a shutoff on Aug. 21.

The owner, Lurin Real Estate Holdings, still owes more than $350,000, according to the city. A spokesperson for Lurin told FOX 13 the company is working "constructively" with the city and expects to resolve the matter without any disruption.

Tenants at the 304-unit complex are not convinced, however.

‘We were told that the payment had already been sent’
