earth day celebrating with some tlc for mother nature in oakland . volunteers picked up litter across the city more than 100 people walked around estuary park hauling out the trash, and volunteers on boats also helped pull garbage out of the water. organizers tell abc seven they came across a lot of plastic, something they wished we'd all use less of. so many people are more aware of the plastic pollution and garbage, and i do think that people want to make a change. >> but it just the little things that people can do to stop using plastic and be more aware of the garbage they create would really help us for uplifting our earth. >> organizers say volunteers picked up about 3,000 pounds of garbage in just a few hours. in concord, the city organized events to spruce up several parks. this is from the cleanup at the markham nature area right off cowell road and in pacifica. volunteers hit the beaches to pick up litter and learn more

about the ocean. well, as we celebrate earth day, it's certainly going to warm up for us today. lisa is tracking the latest temperatures. how's it looking? >> yeah, it's going to be nice. the winds are going to back off even in the city. so the giants game will be mild in the upper 60s and elsewhere. we'll have temperatures well into the 80s. yesterday it was 75. in san jose we had upper 70s in san rafael. and close to that in concord and livermore. but it was only a cool 58 degrees half moon bay. so average highs, low 60s san francisco, mid 60s in oakland and about 70 in san jose and santa rosa. there's a look at the pacific and the activity is well to the north of us. so we are quiet today. but eventually a couple of weather systems will visit us this week, allowing for much colder temperatures. so if you like the warmth today and tomorrow, even by late tomorrow, there's going to be a wind shift though 55 in oakland right now it is 51 in san rafael. looking

at 49 in fremont. danville, the cool spot at 47. so if you might have noticed, the moon almost full out there. beautiful sight. it is full on tuesday, so the next two days, sunshine in spring, warmth with us. the middle of the week turning sharply cooler. and we're talking temperatures well below average right on through next weekend. and then we're going to add in that element of shower chances late thursday into friday. here's a look at the winds i want to show you how light they're going to be today. just a very light sea breeze out there. but as we get into your monday afternoon, not only do they switch out of the southwest, they get quite gusty all the way on the peninsula, through the north bay into the east bay. and that delta breeze just bringing in that cool, cool air. so full sunshine today. then we'll look at some clouds as we get into your monday morning. but monday still going to be nice with some sun. look what happens though, by the afternoon with that southerly breeze. then the clouds arrive, some mist, some drizzle for late monday into tuesday and then the temperatures really bottom out.

so as for your highs tomorrow, look for those low 80s in our far inland areas, but still very mild from upper 70s danville. livermore could top out in the low 80s, but 80 in san jose and then slight cool down in the north bay. but look what happens on tuesday. no 80s, in fact, barely 70s out there. temperatures will be going from above average to much below average. this is a look at wednesday. still looking at some of that mist and drizzle. but the best chance of measurable rain. and it's looking like maybe a 10th of an inch or so arriving into friday. and even next weekend does look like we'll see dry conditions, but not like this. so enjoy the highs today from 81 in vallejo, 82 in livermore. look for upper 60s san francisco. a beautiful day here with low 60s at the coastline. the accuweather seven day forecast. sunny and warmer today. the warmth holds on for most of the day tomorrow. then we'll get that breeze picking up late in the day tuesday and wednesday. much, much cooler, partly cloudy skies as we get

into the middle of the week. clouds increasing. thursday could see some possible showers on friday, and it looks like we'll be dry next weekend, but nothing like our warmth that we are hopefully going to enjoy today and tomorrow. stephanie. >> all right, lisa, we look forward to that. thank you. when we return another possible rate hike, this time for water in the south bay. what this could mean for santa clara county

proposed increase from the santa clara valley water district is approved. abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dawsey explains just how much the rate hike could cost. >> silicon valley is already one of the most expensive places to live and utility rate increases aren't helping. from p-g-and-e's hikes to proposed raises from san jose water. now, santa clara valley water district is discussing their own increases that could spike bills for customers like martin quirk. now's the time.

>> people are really frustrated. we grow weary of it. the bills have gone up so high. it's so much higher than inflation, a higher than the stock market goes up, you know how how can we how can we live with this? how can we keep going? >> a challenge for many. but valley water says the proposed charges have a purpose. the money will go towards infrastructure upgrades at places like anderson dam and the rinconada treatment plant. the board will vote on raising groundwater production and treatment plant charges for cities and private water retailers. >> our infrastructure is old. we need to make sure that we're updating it, providing the proper maintenance, repairing where we need to repair and also, you know, investing in new projects to provide water supply . >> here in santa clara county, the nearly 13% increase could end up costing customers just under $9 per month on average. but valley water says without the infrastructure improvements, it will cost the community even more. >> a reliable water supply is something we all take for granted. you know, you just expect to turn on your faucet

and the water to come out, but that takes investment. we can't not invest in the infrastructure that provides the water here, because if we don't invest now down the road, it could have impacts, obviously, on the reliability of our water supply. ralph quirk understands rate increases are inevitable and he wants to see all companies that raise rates held accountable to follow through with the plans. >> that way, our money goes where they say it will. >> we do have to foot the bill for infrastructure. it's just is it responsible infrastructure or is it lying? that's that's to me the difference. >> the valley water board will meet tuesday the 23rd at 1 p.m. to hear from the community and vote on the proposed increases in san jose. dustin dawsey abc seven news. >> coming up in our next half hour over a dozen people hurt in universal studios. the new details coming out about a tram crash that happened last night, and hush money case, the former president's historic trial continues. what is expected inside the courtroom

good morning, everybody. thank you for being with us this half hour. we're going to get right to lisa. she's tracking your sunday forecast in this nice warm up. yeah it's a little bit warmer this morning by a couple degrees out there. >> and that's going to set the stage for a gorgeous day with temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above average. plenty of sunshine. and that means more 80s out there inland. 54 in hayward. that may be too hot for you, but we have pleasant 70s for hayward and fremont on the way. right now it's 53, in san francisco with 46 in sonoma, so temperatures continue to drop before sunrise, which is about 625. it'll be about 8:00 when we see the temperatures turn around and begin to warm up. so there's our milder san francisco and concord this morning. and as we look at the afternoon or the morning hours, you'll notice how quickly we warm up towards noontime. we're in the low 70s for our inland areas. upper 60s. that's where you were yesterday for your afternoon highs. but we'll surpass that today along

the bay shore in the mid 70s, san jose, about six degrees warmer than yesterday, and santa rosa topping out at around 81 degrees. the city upper 60s, less wind. and then look at that evening. by 730 we're still in the 70s. we'll talk about when we cool down. coming up stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. new this morning, 15 people are hurt after a tram crashed at universal studios overnight. the los angeles county fire department says patients were treated for minor injuries. it's not clear if other vehicles were involved in this incident. the cause of this crash is not known . posted on that tomorrow. opening statements are set to begin in former president donald trump's hush money criminal trial in new york, this after trump's legal team attempted to delay the trial last week. witness testimony will begin shortly after adult actress stormy daniels and trump's former lawyer, michael cohen, are expected to take the stand. the jury, consisting of seven men, five women and six

alternates, were all picked last week. now to your voice. your vote. independent presidential candidate robert f kennedy jr will be included on hawaii's presidential ballot in november. state democrats, though, tried to disqualify his campaign's ballot access petition. a ruling on friday blocked that effort. kennedy also gained access to michigan's ballot recently, and then made it onto utah's ballot earlier this year. the kennedy campaign and a superpac backing him both report he has enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. in nine more states coming up on this week, silicon valley representative ro khanna will talk about his concerns over the bipartisan house foreign aid package that includes the effort to ban tiktok. you can watch the full interview on this week at eight. this morning right here on abc seven. back here at home the latest from seven on your side. some bay area residents got a phone call offering to save money on gas, but wound up

getting switched to a third party gas company instead, and their gas bills went up. i spoke to many of them to get some answers, and are you aware that you will receive a welcome package from triple a natural gas that will include 94 year old ramona martinez? doesn't remember getting this call. >> you know, i don't know what you're talking about there. >> right now. ramona is listening to a recording of that call triple a natural gas of oklahoma, says it proves ramona agreed to a binding contract. >> i can't understand you very well, so get. let's get on with it. what are we doing? >> ramona also doesn't realize this is a recording. >> triple a will charge you a. >> oh! good luck. get off! stop >> you know you're taking advantage of someone who's 94 years old and has dementia. >> ramona just celebrated another birthday. she has advanced dementia and 24 hour care. so her trustee, ingrid

kirsten, was surprised to see this p-g-and-e's notice saying ramona had switched her gas supplier to triple a energy services. how did that happen? she called triple a and they said, well, we do it over the phone and we got phone verification on triple a, said ramona agreed to a 36 month contract and that the phone recording proves it. ingrid is not convinced there's a series of yes or no questions, and then you hear just a yes. >> and i can tell by the yes that it's not ramona on the recording, an agent reads off contract terms, then asks ramona if she understands each one yes or no. >> triple a will charge $0.85 per day. customer fee is this your understanding? >> on the recording? there's a 10 or 15 second delay after each question. then a one word reply. >> yes, thank you. >> ramona says nothing, but yes. >> this is not even her voice and the 10 to 15 second delay after every single question is suspicious in and of itself. >> now it seems clear ramona

does not understand. >> yes, still, triple a said ramona would have to wait 60 days and pay a $100 fee to cancel the contract. >> you can clearly tell my mother did not know what she was was signing up for karen, markey said her 90 year old mother, mary, thought she was getting a discount on her gas bill. >> instead, she wound up switching her gas supplier from p-g-and-e's to triple a. >> they basically said, your mother agreed to it and you can't cancel it for two months, and there's a penalty fee. if you do so, triple a sent karen the phone recording as proof. >> karen says it proved questionable tactics. >> i'll be completing your enrollment today with triple a gas ecore transportation. >> oh my god, can you hold on just a minute so i can write all that down? >> oh, you're going to get all this in the form of paperwork as well then i don't need to. >> is that correct? >> yes, ma'am. >> they keep pushing, pushing, pushing and get her to say yes. >> do you agree that the agent

has not offered you any other incentives? >> i guess so, yeah, but this is the discount. is that not true? >> and again, i don't work for triple a, so let me read the statement again. do you agree that the agent has not offered you any other incentives? >> i guess so i just need a yes or no for the recording. >> i guess i'll say yes, but that's only because i'm getting tired. >> i was painful, i think i shed a few tears. >> the program will be applied to your gas. >> oh my god, this is so complicated. jesus. mercy. >> so triple a began billing mary. but instead of saving money, mary's gas bill actually doubled. same for ramona. mary's utility bill shows p-g-and-e's would have charged her $90 for the gas she used last month. triple a charged $187. ramona's bill shows p-g-and-e's would have charged her $130 for gas, triple a charged $261. triple a tells us we do not target or

discriminate based on age, race or any other basis. a live, independent third party explains and obtains customer consent to each sale. this includes informing the customer that their gas charges may be higher or lower than what p-g-and-e's would charge them. now the state puc allows third party gas suppliers like triple a to sell you gas, but p-g-and-e's will still charge you to deliver gas to your home. and we found it's often even more expensive to buy gas from a third party. still ahead this morning in oakland, middle school is going above and beyond at a time when other students are underperforming. what sets oakland unity apart? that's next. before we go, a live look from our roof camera at the bay bridge this morning. that feeling you get when you can... du more with less asthma. it starts with dupixent. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems.
