BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
I’m Eric J. Dockery your Bakersfield neighborhood reporter. The Shirley Lane community is still without proper water pressure. Multiple community vendors and businesses are providing families with what they need to get through the week.
Residents say it’s happened before, but it’s never lasted this long.
They are approaching a week without, and hope everything will be fixed soon.
Lora Brown Fairfax School District Superintendent said “It came to our attention that we had a neighborhood with about 190 homes that didn’t have any water since Friday. So, we just tried to mobilize as soon as possible we came out around noon on Sunday and opened the Shirley Lane cafeteria.”
