DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY. DISTRICT (E.B.M.U.D) THREATENS FAMILIES’ 
 HEALTH AND SAFETY, PUNISHES TENANTS FOR LANDLADY’S CONDUCT\n\nRALLY AND 
 INFORMATIONAL PICKET IN FRONT OF E.B.M.U.D. OFFICE THIS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 
 28, FROM NOON TO 1:00 P.M. (375 11TH STREET NEAR FRANKLIN)\n\nIn this time 
 of job losses and foreclosures, many of us find our access restricted where 
 it comes to important products, services or subscriptions. But imagine 
 being deprived of indispensable services such as running water!\n\nIn 
 addition to having their water service disrupted, tenants at 1550 Bridge 
 Avenue, Oakland, have been fighting for basic repairs for years. Landlady 
 Carole Olive Kotz is responsible for paying the water bill. Yet, when Kotz 
 refuses to pay, E.B.M.U.D. makes the tenants suffer.\n\nSome tenants lived 
 in the same apartment and have paid rent for as long as three decades. 
 \nMany, however, are reluctant to complain due to their immigrant status. 
 \n\nAmongst the tenants are families with small children and the medically 
 disabled. \nThey can not cook, wash the dishes, get a drink of water, 
 bathe, or flush the toilet -- all necessary activities that most of us take 
 for granted. \n\nPLANNED INFORMATIONAL PICKET\n\nA coalition of tenants and 
 supporters, including local religious rights, workers’ rights, and 
 housing rights organizations, will gather to demonstrate in front of 
 E.B.M.U.D.’s downtown office this Wednesday, October 28, from noon to 1 
 p.m.. E.B.M.U.D.’s offices are located at 375 11th Street near 
 Franklin.\n\nWater is not an option or a luxury! Tenants want to know why 
 E.B.M.U.D. punishes them because landlady Kotz won’t pay her bill. Why 
 not turn off the water service at Kotz’s private residence in Moraga 
 instead? \n\nCONTACT INFORMATION\n\nFor information, please contact: Philip 
 Rapier, tenant attorney, 510-444-6262;  Manuel De Paz, East Bay Sanctuary 
 Covenant, 510-540-5296\n\n
