Default Yorba Linda Water District

What a bunch of losers.Many homes in Hidden Hills Estate were burned to the ground due to these morons not having a back up water pump.They ripoff the residents with their outragious rates/fees & this is what they get.The ylwd board of directors (fatheads) need to be sent to Afganistan one way just like the board of directors on the yucaipa valley water district.Ill chip in a few bucks for airfare.DONT trust any utility company...UGH!!! http://ylwd.com

I heard that the pumping station actually burned to the ground. Wouldn't a back up pump have burned down also? Not sure what this has to do with the Yucaipa water district.

Even if it was working properly there is no guarantee those homes wouldn't have burned. There were a lot of homes that burned in other locations that had access to plenty of water. When you purchase a house that is adjacent to an explosive fuel source, you have to accept the responsibility and be prepared for the consequences.
