List of Reports

Description: 1 mile from the intersection of Orchard Road & Haven Rd, if you come from Holtville turn left on Haven Road (wich changes its name to Pirobe Rd), you go straight until you see the field and continuous a dirt road until you get to a canal. This canal is dumping of household items, this will give drain to the gate 117 A of SO.ALAMO River.

Description: Third day with problems. Now the problem started earlier. Owners did not respond to calls. Their solution was to install a "shadow" (See picture).

Description: On Wednesday 24, 2011, the electricity went off from around the hours 10:00pm to 12:30am at ''Oasis Mobile Home Park 88-701 Ave.70 Thermal CA. 92274''. Being that most of these trailers are old (AC air would never refresh the entire home) and to lessen the expense of electricity, most people only use a small AC in the rooms where they sleep at night. Probably no more than 20 minutes passed (or less) when the hot temperatures heightened, and going outside would be worst. In my home, we got pieces of hard cardboard in our hands to fan air over our younger siblings to keep them from waking up. Meanwhile, we kept thinking of how many families around here have newborn babies and how more difficult this situation would be for them. Having electricity is important and ever so essential in these times of rising heat in the weather.

Description: Again, power is going out & returning (after lapse of 30 mins starting around 4pm of no power at all).
Same situation that in 2010, like 2 months ago, and yesterday.

Description: We're just finding out that since 2 weeks ago, unit #7 has been leaking water. Owner (Miguel Hernandez) was informed and allegedly,he said to tenants that they have to leave the premises.

Description: For the second day in this week, electricity has been fluctuating. Last episode /blackout was 45 minutes long (around 4pm). After that, brownouts/blackouts were seen. Risk of heatstrokes because of the temp today (110°F + humidity).
There are kids, diabetics, and seniors there....

Description: Residents of Sunbird Mobilehome Park received notice in June that the water from their taps AND that coming from the filtration system on site was contaminated with impermissible levels of E. coli. Residents were issued a "boil order" notifying them they should boil even the filtered water before it would be safe to consume. Mark Abbot of Riverside County Environmental Health confirmed the problem was resolved within approximately 2 weeks of the identification of the contamination.

Description: Residents of mobilehome parks in the Avenue 62 corridor report having identified a small waste recycling facility located at the corner of Jackson St. and Avenue 62. I confirmed the existence of the facility, which consisted of many piles of substances that looked like dirt as well as several machines like backhoes and tractors that apparently worked the substances. Workers on the site further report unsafe working conditions, which were reported anonymously to OSHA.
