Wishing You a Safe and Healthy New Year

As we bid farewell to 2020 and usher in a new year, we hope this message finds you and your family safe and well. While we continue to navigate these difficult times together, we’re working nonstop to make sure you and your loved ones have the essential services you need to get through this pandemic. From safe drinking water at your tap to reliable power at the switch, we're here to get you through each day with the services you need most. And if you or someone you know needs help paying your bill, we can help. We offer extended payment plans, discount programs and other financial resources.

We're looking ahead at 2021 with optimism and hope, and big plans for a cleaner, brighter and more sustainable water and power future. As such, we're kicking off the New Year with important discussions on the future of the city's water and power resources. Join us and be part of the conversation. Today and into the future, we're in this together.
From our LADWP family to yours, we wish everyone a safe and healthy new year!
