I reported this a few days ago and EBMUD was actually out today and set up the signs and tape. It looks like they are going to be working on this.

Weed abatement is also a problem. Could you even see the the hydrant? The fronting property owner is responsible for the maintenance and repair of there sidewalk. 5610 of the Calif State Streets and Highway Code and 12.04 of the Oakland Municipal Code. Code enforcement 238-3381.

OAK 311 has referred this issue to EBMUD,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).

Here are some important City of Oakland contact points:
* Abandoned Autos: 510-777-8622 (abandoned vehicles on public street after 3 days)

Thank you.

Any idea when EMBUD might get around to fixing this?
