EBMUD Water SHUTOFF at 288 Whitmore St Tuesday Oct. 29th from 1:30pm to 2:30pm
EBMUD informed us that they will be testing our water meters this Tuesday Oct. 29th. Therefore, from 1:30pm to 2:30pm, we will have the water shut off in 288 Whitmore St. only. The other two buildings will have water service. If you must use a bathroom facility during this time, the Men’s Sauna/Dressing Room will be available for both genders, obviously one at a time and only during the water shutoff.

Pour laundry detergent directly into the washer not into the liquid detergent trays
The office is still receiving occasional reports of powder detergent being placed in the washing machine trays. DO NOT DO THIS. If it is placed in the trays, it usually does not reach the washing machine and results in a hard paste which is very difficult to remove from the tray. Your clothes are not washed, and it prevents the machine from being used until the hard paste remnant can be removed.
Powder detergent should only be placed directly into the washing machines.
PICK UP YOUR MAIL EVERYDAY!
Dear 288 Whitmore St residents,
Two pairs of thieves recently opened our mailboxes with a USPS Master Key, which they stole from a Mail Carrier. Fortunately, this time, they were interrupted and only had time to steal from 2 individual mailboxes. We cannot tell which boxes, other than to say they were in the first bank, closest to the lobby door. With at least 2 pairs of people possessing a Master Key, our best defense is to collect our mail every day.
Tide Pods must NOT be placed into the dispenser trays
During the last week, we have experienced 2 washers being clogged because someone placed a detergent pod (soap pod) into the sectional tray which contains soap, bleach, and fabric softener. Soap pods should always be placed directly into the washing machine, NOT in the sectional tray. This clogging caused a leak from the machines onto the floor, which is a “slip and fall” hazard, not to mention unpleasant to walk through water. Manager
