Rather a simple question. The Trump ballroom, Trump sworn in 667 days ago. How in hell were full blueprints designed, drawn, approved, East wing demolished, safety codes ignored, Congress ignored and now main overhead I beams installed. LA Palisades fire victims still vacant lots

By the way, since LADWP is not a city agency (it is a separate entity) mayor has no independent authority

Because by ordinance, DWP can only “patch”. While “streets” jobs are protected, city has no money to pay for repavement .

Unfortunately that is not how it works in Los Angeles. Mulholland demanded that his utility not only be a separate entity from the city, but being nonprofit. DWP must purchased almost all electricity that’s been used council uses that cost plus set overhead to set rates.

Just realized a how ad for #messureA in Los Angeles is running a scam. While promising the moon with “no new taxes” Nothing said about increase to current taxes VOTE NO ON ALL MEASURES AND PROPOSITIONS. Millions are not spent without expecting a payday

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

DWP reads the meter, Council sets rates. Was the read correct that was used to calculate bill?

Just a guy who was billed for the 5820 KWH he used

Which happens every month. Being so, is it news

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

Please explain how. LADWP has never been part of the city

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

All three general managers working for the city, had salary bumped by city Council in 2023

From what I understand from the press conference, actual rates for LADWP have not changed because of temporary changes in energy costs, #LADWP accessibility to make “temporary” these to absorb these costs. No one has bothered to ask for explanation of REQUIRED FEES

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
