Serving our customers in the Pacific Palisades community who were impacted by the January 2025 wildfire has been a key focus for our staff and crews over the past twelve months. Our efforts focused first on restoring vital services and now support rebuilding, while strengthening our water and electric system resilience. Pacific Palisades recovery and resilience will remain a core focus throughout 2026 and beyond as we continue to support all our customers and the communities we serve.

LADWP was honored to co-host the Annual Winter Solstice Ceremony with the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians at the Chatsworth Nature Preserve. The gathering celebrated harmony and renewal, weaving together community, culture, and nature. Tribal leaders shared a blessing and sang traditional songs, and guests walked a guided trail that showcased the preserve’s quiet beauty and vibrant biodiversity.
