Residents who live in the Remen Tract neighborhood — an unincorporated plot of land located within Pleasanton — have depended on temporary fire hoses connected to fire hydrants for months as their main source of water for their homes. These temporary connections, according to neighbors and a city spokesperson, were installed as a remedy for a main waterline that broke in August 2024.  After previously notifying the residents, the city removed its fire hose connections last Wednesday — mainly due to safety concerns regarding the rest of the city’s water supply — leaving those six homes and residents without water. … And what was more surprising to … residents who live in that neighborhood was the city informing them it will not be fixing their waterline, leaving many scrambling to figure out how or if they should pay for those repairs.
