Whenever I see a story like this I check around. In this case I found something that counters it, as obtained from a forum (still not a 100% source of truth, but raises the question):
Robin Speronis is a fraud artist, literally a convicted felon for previous real estate fraud, only 2 years into a 10 year probation.
She claims the duplex she's living in was sold to her for $10 by an elderly woman who counterclaims she never sold it. The transfer papers appear to have been forged, so technically Speronis is a squatter. And the utilities to the property were turned off for non-payment. Then, due to neighbor's complaints the city posted the property as uninhabitable. That's when she cooked up the "off the grid" story to gain public sympathy. But most of what she said about it was a fabrication. Her "solar system" in fact is a small folding 300 watt panel, suitable for charging a laptop battery. Her "rainwater catchment system" is a 50 gallon rain barrel under a downspout.
This area in Florida has had a high number of foreclosures, and a lot of squatting in abandoned buildings, so the city's concern, and the neighbor's concern with sanitation is entirely understandable. They came to an agreement with her to open a city water account and pay for minimal use, about $10 a week as I recall, in order to legally use the sewer system.
