Me thinks this isn't the first time someone on Winni has had this issue and called city hall in 89Mischief's town. Perhaps a friendly call to them inquiring about your options is a good first choice?
I've gotta believe that most folk would WANT to know about the waste of money they have running 24/7, except for APS neighbor! What you should have done was left it running in June, you get a cheap jacuzzi and he gets a burned out pump!
