Info only, LADWP is not a public utility. If it were, state would have authority, which it doesn’t. It is a one of a kind hybrid that is self owned, not part of Los Angeles government

Actually, the only connection between LA DWP and sanitation is the billing back in the 50s city Council wanted LA DWP to be the bill collector.

1st,NBC clip is 4 months old. 2nd DWP is nonprofit, they have to buy everything you use. If you listen to the news report, last rate hike due to this cost. 3rd sewer and trash are from sanitation not DWP. Sewer charge recalculates. Every July explaining why man in clip hadn’t seen that price before.

First thing is break the seal which makes water contaminated. Whatever the size water flushed to the sea. Drain, clean , flush and wait for inspection of new seal before refill. Weeks for each tank. Who catches the blame if there is only one fire

Take bill to meter. If read on meter is HIGHER than what is on bill, it is correct. Causes: ceiling heaters mistakenly turned on, malfunctioning refrigerator or A/C. DWP did away with residential electric inspections 50 years ago. Now up to customer to identify

DWP uses meter reads to compute your billing. In the event I read is unable to be obtained, the word estimated is printed on the bill. If you believe someone else is stealing, it is not a DWP issue. It’s a civil matter.30 years at DWP, never saw one case of theft between two customers.

One problem, power, water, and power commissioners do not have the authority to do anything. The position is a political reward from the mayor. Their idea must be passed on to Los Angeles city Council to be written into an actual motion. City council then has to vote on it and provide funding
