A busy road in Walnut Creek reopened on Saturday after a water main break caused lane closures and traffic backups.
"I was told by the labor relations manager at that time that I should be aware that I was about to make a complaint against the person who could pass or fail me on probation," said Shaunte Scott. However, EBMUD disputes her claims.
I felt compelled to say that I was an attorney first and Black second," said a former EBMUD employee who told the I-Team she felt she had to disavow her ethnic heritage to keep her job at the District.
The water transfer will reduce the need for mandatory water restrictions and rationing, according to East Bay MUD.
The utility wants to bump rates by 4% starting this July and then another 4% starting July 1, 2022.
The first water main break happened last night around 10 p.m. Crews hope to have water restored by midday today.
