It sounds like a potential future problem, potentially legal, which is best not put on the internet...
As a President, the easiest fix would be to get an accurate reading at all the heads, get a written vote from the rest of the board, and give a credit to their upkeep of that "common area" based upon a consistent watering schedule.
Or if permanently-dividing the water is needed, get board approval and tap/meter to the location from another common source at great expense.
If the by-laws specifically state that there are no "common areas", then they might have the right to shut off the water flowing to property outside their "ownership", they might have claim to that property through squatters rights, grounds for objecting to the terms of the original HOA/deed, and/or have grounds to recover those past costs.
(Interesting situation. I don't know the specifics and I'm not an attorney with knowledge of local laws or HOA documents. The best plan would be to solve the problem and be done with it.)
