it's sad they couldn't come together and come up with some terms to keep it open. >> doctors medical center was operating on a deficit. the latest number $18 million a year. the hospital was moving that much money because 90 percent of its patients are on medicare or medical. the hospital found it impossible to survive on those reimbursements which run as low as 60 cents on the dollar. they were hoping the community would support a partial tax, but that too failed. >> i love working here. i've been work here 15 years and i love the staff and the people i work with. it's really sad for me. but i'm just taking it with a grain of salt, i guess. >> the closer leaves a big void in this community, known for patient services, like the drive-through flu shot clinic, something few hospitals do these days. the only emergency room in west contra costa county is kaiser richmond. >> i would like to know who is

risks to our national security our economy and our health. >> the fact that the climate is changing has very serious implications for the way we live now. stronger storms, deeper droughts, longer wildfire seasons. the world's top climate scientists are warning us that a change in climate already affects the air our kids breathe. >> the president added there is some good news. carbon pollution in the u.s. has fallen 10% in 8 years and china has recently agreed to limiting its emissions. >> fence jumpers at the white house may face one more obstacle to reach the highly secure grounds. secret service want to attach steal spikes to the perimeter fence. it's a temporary fix as they consider a more long-term solution. last november a man jumped the fence and made it you will at way to an unlocked door and into the mansion. the security measure still needs

thought. >> they told me, great, you are all set. i hung up and went back to my meeting. didn't think about it again. >> the next day he received an e-mail from southwest that read "because the passenger listed below failed to cancel, all funds from the no-show reservation are forfeited." stunned, he called southwest. >> they said prove to us you called. and i said, you know, excuse me? he said, no, you need to prove to us you called. >> jeff couldn't really do that. you will recall he was at an off-site meeting when he picked up their phone to cancel the flight. tracking down that call on that company's phone records would be nearly impossible. >> in a lot of ways i did what i was supposed to do, and i called and cancelled and talked to a rep. i didn't feel like i had to bother other people to solve the problem. >> he appealed, but it was rejected.

he posted his frustrations on twitter, but was told the same thing. without proof he called, there would be no refund. he remembers the exact time he turned to "7 on your side" for help. 3:00 p.m. on wednesday. >> and thursday at 8:00 a.m. i got a phone call saying my money had been refunded, so thanks for that. that was very helpful. >> southwest told us exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis and may require related documentation. our records indicate that our customer relations department worked with mr. sewars to resolve this particular issue. >> clearly you carry a lot of weight with southwest. it's great. >> weather cancelling a reservation, document it by getting a cancellation number. if they don't have that, at least log the name of the person you talked to and the time of the call. i'm michael finney, "7 on your side." >> all right. thank you, michael. and no real turbulence in air travel today, right? >> no. we really can't complain. low 50s right now in san jose. you see some clouds around. yesterday your high was 79.

the state water board said it will release new enforcement regulations today. those guidelines will put some teeth into the 20% to 35% cutbacks being imposed for most cities across california. some cities facing deep cuts are seeking revisions, including morgan hill and santa clara county. abc7 news reporter david louie looks at the reason why. >> morgan hill residents believe they have really lived up to the drought challenge by reducing consumption by 21%. they were surprised to see their goal is now 35%, the highest in santa clara county. many residents are letting their lawns turn brown or relandscaping to replace lawns and bushes that require more water. by cutting back another 14% has them perplexed. jennifer morgan has a 3-month-old daughter, beatrice. >> the hard part is laundry because we do a lot of laundry and we do have a 3-month-old baby so it's really hard to try to figure out how to cut down on that. >> i'm not sure if there is more i can do because we have the low flow water already and we only

use water that's essential. we don't use any extra. >> morgan hill has asked the state water board to reconsider the formula used to set the 35% mandate. if the state agrees, it could see the 35% figure drop to 25% see the 35% figure drop to 25%. >> we re-evaluated and resubmitted our consumption data and are waiting to hear back from the state to see if they concur with us that we are actually below the 35 level. >> the water board has not indicated how soon it might review requests from morgan hill and other cities. in the meantime the 35% cutback is mandatory and residents could be fined up to $500. >> i think that would be a little unfair. i think everybody should be committed to reducing the amount of water that they use, and it should be pretty much same across the board. >> morgan hill leaders say they are confident residents will comply. in morgan hill, david louie, abc7 news. if you think you see water being wasted where you live, e-mail us at abc7listens@kgo-tv.com.

we will check out as many tips as we can. >> happening today, the debut of a possible solution to the problem of garbage at san francisco's dolores park. recently the park has become no one more for the piles of garbage that stack up rather than the scenery and relaxation vibes. the city estimates that it picks up about 7,000 gallons of waste at the park, and that's just on the weekends. this morning city officials will set up what's called an eco pop-up. it's a large dumpster for garbage that can be composted or recycled. an estimated two-thirds of the 7,000 gallons of garbage can go into the new debris box. hopefully a good solution there. it's time to pitch and clean, green and beautiful oakland today for earth day. to be precise, this is the 21st annual oakland earth day. community volunteers will be working at over 90 locations throughout the city. the work will be mirrored across the country.

here is a view from our east bay hills camera. 50s san carlos. you are looking at mt. diablo. 45 morgan hill and 48 half moon bay. san francisco sitting at 51 degrees. and sfo, it's clear. though problems for the airlines if you are headed out. no real low cloud issues right at the tarmac. 50 in fairfield with 49. it's clear concord and livermore. elsewhere we've had fog all around the bay, even though the visibility is looking good now from san carlos to oakland. still four to five miles from santa rosa to petaluma right along the coast. and further south the surf has been very high from santa barbara and los angeles. here's mt. tam. you see the marine layer there. foggy this morning but we will see the wide range today. feeling like summer with about a 20 to 25-degree speed. no changes tomorrow. the warmest days out of the next 7 will be today and tomorrow and then temperatures take a hit as

soon as monday. and they will continue a downward slide with maybe even some sprinkles. then hopefully some rain. here's the pacific satellite with double barrel high pressure to the north and east of us. look how far the app is off the coast. that will allow a weak trough to drop down from the north best that allows for the low clouds the fog, the setup of the marlene layer to keep the coast cool and the mild numbers around the barracks warm numbers inland. that's today, that's tomorrow, and then we will be looking at the changes. state-wide, we talk about the high surf. monterey 64. 88 in fresno. too warm tore april. 76 los angeles. 67 in the sierra nevada. some forms arrive perhaps by late sunday into monday. and looks more likely by the middle of next week up in tahoe. so we will look for numbers around the bay today to be warm, in the 80s. livermore valley today tomorrow, very little change. average highs in the 70s. look what happens. yep, the cooler air even reaches
