I have an agent who’s single purpose is to wake me up with something fun every morning
today it sent me this
A+
48” trunk line up Palisades dr never stopped pumping uphill. Delivery system gravity/siphon driven. Unknown number burst pipes & open hydrants caused air to enter system. This resulted in loss of pressure
And small things like facts has never dissuaded Pratt from carrying on. When reservoir last emptied, small seismic cracks were discovered floor and walls. Any immense liner had to be constructed and installed before refill. Why should the safety of the thousands downhill matter
Or the real reason. Idiots blocked the only road. LAFD was delayed HOURS. Trailer sent for bulldozer, load and transport through traffic. All caused HOURS OF DELAY
Which happens every month. Being so, is it news
Dozens of restaurants and markets across Los Angeles County were forced to temporarily close their doors this month after inspectors discovered health code violations, including vermin infestation and sewage leaks. ktla.com/news/local-news/los…
One of Mulholland demands a century ago was total independence from city hall. Mayor can nominate name for GM, Council votes. Since it IS NOT OWNED BY CITY. The PUC has never had any authority
LADWP must bill at cost. Since these vary almost daily, Council would have to change rates and tiers multiple times a year to be current. Instead, those varying charges addressed as fees. Any “audit” would have to be date. Latest was on 10/1/26 Energy Cost Adjustment
For all those complaining about high #LADWP bills, I would like to lend my expertise. Last 10 years at DWP, investigator of high bills. Please post ENTIRE bill from a year ago AND current bill. Block name etc, want to ID what suddenly spiked #LosAngeles
Unlike @SCE, 99% of LADWP is urban. Concrete, asphalt and people. Not much dry vegetation under lines
LADWP is a separate entity from the city while the mayor has given the “honor“ of nominating the general manager, mayor has absolutely no authority over the utility. City Council, however, overseas contracts rates & tiers. This is how Mulholland demanded the set up a century ago
LADWP is directly controlled by Karen Bass. It looks like San Clemente gets most of its reservoir water from two regional agencies outside the city. Don’t know how much control the major would have.
From Grok
LADWP is a proprietary (self-supporting) department of the City of Los Angeles under the City Charter. It is overseen by a five-member Board of Water and Power Commissioners, which sets policy, controls finances/assets, and appoints the top executive. Board members are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council for five-year terms. ladwp.com
Current Board of Commissioners (as of the latest official listing):
• Allan Marks — President (appointed by Mayor Karen Bass in late 2025)
• Nurit Katz — Vice President
• Wilma Pinder — Commissioner
• Benny Tran — Commissioner (appointed by Mayor Bass in late 2025)
• Rudy Ortega Jr. — Commissioner
The Board meets regularly (typically the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month). ladwp.com
Despite popular belief, LADWP doesn’t set rates. They are non profit and buy what the customer uses plus overhead. Should any of those costs change CITY COUNCIL LOOKS AT INFO AND VOTESYAY OR NAY as part of thier role check and balance. Be it rates, tiers, fees or charges=COUNCIL
LADWP is nonprofit. All actual costs are passed to customer. If you want anyone to pay less, the remaining customers must pay more.
Despite you wanting to be a do gooder, nobody gets special treatment.
You will get equal treatment soon enough, WLA INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT $
I thought all Spencer was going to leave the state if he didn’t get the win. But no, he’s still around doing his one trick pony routine about LADWP.
Remember, you’re supposed to feel sorry for the guy who was using 8.4 Kilowatts every hour. That’s 84 100Watt bulbs 24/7
Is there still a chance for @spencerpratt as write in candidate? I hope so, these two ladies are the choice between Pest or Cholera 🧐
