Los Angeles officials call for review, relief as residents react to high LADWP bills

Frustration is mounting among LADWP customers who say their utility bills have risen sharply in recent months. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) customers have reported that their utility bills have risen sharply in recent months. This has led to calls for greater oversight, financial relief and an independent review of the utility's billing and rate structure. While LADWP electricity rates have increased over the past several years, recent heat waves across Southern California have also contributed to higher bills due to increased use of air conditioning and other cooling measures. The issue has led criticism of LADW leadership and calls for accountability. L.A. Councilwoman Nithya Raman and Mayor Karen Bass have both called for an independent audit of LADSWP's rate structure and billing. The mayor has also announced measures aimed at helping customers struggling with unusually high bills.
