Manager’s Update regarding Water Temperature and Pressure at 288 Whitmore St
The Water Heaters have been “tuned”, so we should have consistent water temperature now. If anyone experiences fluctuation with temp. or pressure, please notify the Office.
If your water pressure is clearly lower than it was on August 27th before the work started, notify the Office. If the low pressure is in a sink, try unscrewing the aerator on the bottom of the faucet. If you find sediment or debris, simply bump it out of the aerator into the garbage. Debris can accumulate and for some reason, it seems to be present after a water shutoff in only 1 or 2 faucets in the entire building.
NO WATER SHUTOFF TOMORROW. THE JOB IS COMPLETE!
Water Service Restored at 288 Whitmore St
Harry Clark Plumbing, our vendor, finished the installation today of our “Stack Water Shutoff Valves” and returned both hot and cold-water service at about 3:45pm, well ahead of schedule. Therefore, we will need NO WATER SHUTOFF TOMORROW.
Sincerely,
Manager

Manager’s Messages for Residents on 8/9/2025
Dear Residents,
Reminder: No smoking on HOA property. A number of residents have been sitting on HOA property NEAR THE SIDEWALK. We understand your preference to sit. However, in every such location, smoke finds its way into a garage, stairwell, or the Pool area. This is a problem for the non-smokers who are in those areas and the City of Oakland recently passed an Ordinance disallowing smoking anywhere on the grounds of a multi-family residence. To comply with Oakland’s law and with our Rules, smokers must be completely off of our property.
The County of Alameda requires that the blue cover for the Jacuzzi (Spa) MUST BE OFF OF THE SPA DURING ALL OPERATING HOURS. We know our Rule has been to place the cover back on the Spa when each resident leaves. However, this County law must be followed. Please remember this.
The Manager will be on vacation the week of August 11-15. The Office phone will be forwarded to a Staff Member or Board Member during normal working hours. If you have a MAINTENANCE EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL THE MAINTENANCE EMERGENCY PHONE #510-908-3218. This number is stated on the Office’s outgoing message.
Our Custodial Staff Member will be on vacation August 11-15.
Sincerely, Manager 
RockRidge Manor
