Did you miss the EBMUD presentation about the Pipeline Rebuild project in Redwood Heights? It's now available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/p8RsVrvDXDA. #EBMUD #RedwoodHeights #Oakland #Water

The pandemic has upended daily life. With the holidays approaching, RHA was looking for ways to give back to our local community. It came to our attention that some Redwood Heights School (RHS) families have been severely impacted and struggle to pay rent or buy food. Some cannot leave their homes to access food banks or other resources due to medical reasons, lack of safe transportation, or other obstacles. RHS PTA and staff have reached out to the school community to help, but RHA would like to extend that reach beyond the school. You can help: The RHA Board of Directors will match up to $500 in gifts made for the RHS Care fund. All funds raised from this campaign will go directly to RHS families in need of financial support during this time. Donate: https://rhaoakland.org/contribute/ Thank you for supporting these families and supporting our community!

After the series of main breaks in the Jordan Road area earlier this year, East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) made some changes to the timeline and scope of pipeline work.
