Despite several runins with police, the city did not report him to immigration officials. Crime along San Franciscos embarcadero isnt new. But some people who work in the area say it has gotten worse. New at 6 00 kpix 5s cate caugiran says some are even taking precautions. Cate. Reporter thats exactly right, liz. Workers here along the embarcadero tell me they have seen the Homeless Population here become more aggressive and now they are as you mentioned taking extra precautions in what was normally considered a safe area. I did everything i could to keep them away from me. Reporter she says simply walking to work along the embarcadero is diesesy. Theres a lot of Homeless People and a lady that slaps you just because she is angry. Reporter she has one homeless woman in particular she has to regularly look out for. She looks you dead in your eyes. She doesnt like the way you look she hits you. We see them here every day not just inside the building. But around the building. Um, they are always across the street. Reporter this person also works in the ferry building. Especially when im at work i feel safe.

There has been an increase of incidents where there have been unfortunate interactions between Homeless People and residents. Reporter San Francisco supervisor Julie Christensen says the city is increasing efforts to address the problem adding Police Patrols and programs to help the homeless.

Reporter yet city leaders and educators say this year old school has some major security and safety issues. What im going to show you right now is how easy it would be for active intruder to enter this Elementary School campus. I stick my arm in, i reach it, that is a locked gate. Reporter herculess vice mayor says its the same story at other entrances. Why jump over the fence into the secure building when i just reach over hit the push bar. Reporter School Administrators used a chain and padlock to secure one gate. We paid them millions of dollars and did this really do the job they are supposed to do . I dont think so. Reporter theres also a major safety hazard. The playground is built right in front of the parking lot. School administrators put up the temporary fence as a barricade. At a Different School in the district earlier this year, someone accidentally hit the gas instead of the brakes and drove right into a school building. [ inaudible ] i believe our facilities are equal of any in the bay area. I havent seen evidence that would say otherwise. Reporter after he saw the video he said there are issues with safety and security. It looks like a serious hazard. Reporter the district hasnt said how or if they will protect it. Im here to protect the residents. Reporter in hercules, da lin, kpix 5.

Reporter trez holds a photo of his brother he lost and he holds his daughter who was born this year. He says life can be bittersweet. Be cautious and careful. I pray no one else has to endure that type of situation with their child or with themselves. Its not easy. Reporter in oakland, Juliette Goodrich, kpix 5. One south bay firefighter was off duty but he didnt think twice about jumping in to save some people from a burning home. The firefighter noticed smoke was coming from the attic of this house near Stemple Court and jessica way this morning. He ran through the front door and immediately started evacuating nine People Living inside including three children. Shortly after, other firefighters arrived and they had the fire out within an hour. Investigators say it started with an electrical problem in the attic. The home had no working smoke detectors. [ music ] still ahead, hundreds of thousands of gallons of water dumped into a california canyon. And it may have been because people save too much. A new attraction in napa. People coming in to try to spot an unexpected sea creature. And it will be a weekend of contrasts in the bay area. You go to the shoreline and you will see a good deal of overcast. And you go inland, and you will see this, plenty of sunshine. The forecast com the Public Utilities commission raised electricity rates for people who use the least amount of energy while giving a break to those who use the most. The puc says low use households pay so little right now, its not even enough to cover the cost of supplying the energy they do use. For those people who are conserving the most they are going to see the most significant increase, what do you say . I dont think thats true. He admitted that many of those who use the least amount of energy will in fact pay more each month if their energy use stays the same. He also says he doesnt believe rates drive Energy Efficiency anyway. But consumer advocates disagree. A mayor is defending his city to dump hundreds of thousands of Drinking Water. Reporter matt mendez explains why peoples efforts to conserve could actually be to blame. Reporter water wasted about 550,000 gallons of Drinking Water in this tank the city had to be released in a nearby canyon. The city should have prepared. It was a perfect storm of conservation and heat. Reporter the mayor says people conserved so much water by 45 in may that the water sat in the blue crystal reservoir. The heat got to it and there was a chemical imbalance. Because of state regulation the water wasnt safe to drink. The amount of water released from the reservoir is enough to supply about 4 Single Family homes for a year. I dont know how difficult it would have been for them to use it for another purpose. Reporter some may wonder why not put it back into this lake where it came from . The answer in short it could cost too much. If you think about making 100 tanker truck runs back and forth it doesnt pencil out. Reporter it couldnt send the water through the pipelines into our homes for irrigation because of the chance someone might drink it. This was just an unfortunate consequence that pains us about we want to keep our people healthy. Reporter so whats next . The city says its deciding on a plan to prevent it from happening again. Its looking into a standalone recycle system that would cost more than a million dollars. Hopefully it will be a learning experience. The mayor says what happened is very unusual but a neighbor says he claims he saw the city releasing water a couple years ago. Theres a porpoise in the river. Kpix 5s don ford with the excitement and one guys close encounter. This is the first i have heard of one in a while.

We have some fog and low clouds out there right now in evidence along ocean beach on this third of july and the numbers around the bay area in concord 86. Warmed up in some places in the bay area.

On the consumerwatch, julie watts with what happened to one car owner and your rights if it happens to you. Reporter it wasnt supposed to end this way. His Honda Odyssey hoisted on a tow truck. The repair shop where it was supposed to have been fixed. I took the car in to have it fixed and instead they destroyed my car. Reporter it all started when the vans engine light came on. To save money ali went for the cheapest deal he could find an 89 diagnostic test at pep toys. Other places were 200. Reporter after checking it out pep boys said a loose spark plug had damaged the engine. The repair estimate about 1,800. I said okay fine. Now. Whatever it takes. Reporter but a few days later pep boys called with bad news. The engine couldnt be repaired after all. And replacing it with another one would cost 6,500. I said no. I told you, im not going to go a penny over your estimate. You guys pay the difference. Reporter to add insult to injury pep boys wanted to get paid before reassembling his van. Pep boys denied our request for an interview stating it couldnt comment on this case so we took our question to the bureau of Automotive Repair the agency that regulates auto repair shops. It doesnt surprise me. Reporter the agency told us under california law, a mechanic cant charge more than the repair estimate without first getting an okay from the owner. By law, youre entitled to an estimate. And any type of repairs that are going to exceed that estimate you need to authorize with that particular shop. Reporter but he admits enforcing the law is a challenge. Its a civil issue so, you know, of course the repair shops do not have to take the suggestions that we make. Reporter after the state intervened pep boys agreed to put the engine back in the van at no cost. Ali towed it home and still hopes for a resolution but learned when it comes to diagnostics, you get what you pa i for. That was my biggest mistake. In cases like
