My case against the Law breaking, civil right violating municipality.
These people acting in a pattern of Harrasment, Retaliating against me for exercising a right to civil action against the defendants in my 1983 Federal Suit upon information and belief were conspiring to contaminate my water supply under the direction of the FBI, this fact is unprovable because their plot was foiled when I previously wrote an article about what they were trying to do, so instead they went to plan B extorting me for money to drain me financially so I wouldn’t be able to prevail in my federal 1983 claim.
First, I noticed an increase in my water bill and via telephone inquired about it, they suggested for me to change the meter. When I declined they insisted on it and then said to me I have no choice and gave me a 5 day turn off notice for non compliance. Pursuant to PaC.S.A.§56.331they are required to give 10 day notice for any shut-off. After turning my water off they charged me 112 dollars for the turn off and another 112 dollars again falsely claiming they found my water running three days later and had to turn it back off, then they increased it to 345 dollars with penalties. Next they send the property maintenance inspector to my home and placed a condemned sticker on my house ordering to vacate my home and demanded 150 dollars to remove the sticker, and summonsed me to the magistrate court trying to force me to pay close to 600 dollars for having no running water. After I gave them access to change their meter and the water was turned back on for several months they continued to harass me for the turn off fees and send me a 10 day notice for shut off for non payment violating PaC.S.A.§ 56.83 which provides Unauthorized termination of service: Nonpayment, in whole or in part, of non basic charges for leased or purchased merchandise,appliances or special services including, but not limited to, merchandise and appliance installation fees, rental and repair costs; meter testing fees; special construction charges; and
other nonrecurring or recurring charges that are not essential to delivery or metering of service.
Three days after receiving their ten day notice I Paid them 268 dollars as instructed by them to avoid turn off again and by the end of the week these violators turned off my water anyway, thus charging me more turn off fees and assessing more penalties subsequently leaving me without water for 8 months and they refused to calibrate the meter they removed violating PaC.A.S. § 65.8. (d)(2) which provides, A water meter which is removed from service shall be tested within 30 days for accuracy to complete that meter’s test history.
On November 7 th 2014 appearing before the Berks County court of Common Pleas for injunction relief, a evidentiary hearing was held except this corrupt court doesen't take in any evidence, wouldn’t even look at the 5 day notice. The judge goes on record acting as if she is unaware of the federal lawsuit filed , meanwhile one of the defendants is a judge presiding in that court house. 23 Defendants on that case and she pretends not to know anything about the case. So instead of holding an evidentiary hearing as she ordered she turns this appearance into an oral argument but goes around the clear violations of law and scolds me for saying the word harassment in her court, she says don’t repeat that word again in her court. SO back to the violating municipality these people trumped up charges up to 1,200 dollars and all the 8 months I was without water they continued charging me a water service charge of 45 dollars every month, when I brought it up to the judge their attorney replied, "it’s a stand by fee." So what does this judge do? Orders me to pay a 500 dollar bond to restore services and gives me a 3 day deadline even after I tell her I didn’t think I could make that amount within a weeks time. Prior to that the court twice charged me a fee for electronic filing and they tell me I have to pay this fee every time I file a document with the court but im not allowed to file electronically because only attorneys are allowed. Does this even sound logical? I have to pay for Electronic filing but I cant file electronically.

It is not the RAWA that is corupt, it is the whole city Of Reading and their services. It is an uncontrolled Monoply that is allowed to run with out checks and balances and is allowed to due what ever they want with no possible way to challenge a bill or service dispute. Attorney Generals Office has no jurisdiction, Public Utility Commission has no jurisdiction, Pennsylvania state police have no jurisdiction. So Please someone tell us what to do. The level of, lets say, abuse of Goverment, is so high and completely across the board including UGI gas utility. Look at the distruction UGI did to the citizens of Cotton St., as well as other places thru out the city of Reading. Come on people it is a violation of Pennsylvania State Laws that govern the placement of out side gas metters/valves. Look it up.
The number one reason this has been allowed to go on is who is going to challenge them? A local management company challenged them. And won. But of course it is now on appeal. People in this city do not have the finaces to follow thru with a civil actions, or the knowledge to do it them selves.
I really am tired of their abuse and at the present I am preparing a Federal Civil Rights Complaint Against the State of Pennsylvania, Governor, Attorney General, County Of Berks, City Of Reading, Commissioners, mayor, RAWA, UGI, and last of all Arcadia Recovery Bureau. For violations of Abuse Of Goverment, Due Process violations, and a whole lot more. It will probably take me 2 weeks to get thee intial complaint compleated and start service. As everyone else in this city I do not have the finances for all the copies so I have to try and fined help. I am really hoping there is an attorney(s) who have the guts and knowledge to help me. I am not a lawyer. I am a disable, "NO INCOME" city resident.
Thank you for your time. Hopefully this will help someone and Maybe someone with enough guts and resourses will help me.
