Blog Entry 21 of 28 Get a DWP Sub Water Meter Save $

California Utility Services 1-800-400-1727 The City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works Bureau of Sanitation recently sent out information about your Sewer Service Charges to all 500,000 homeowners and 125,000 commercial customers. Once a year this is sent out along with reference to their website which further confuses the rate payers on exactly what are the SSC charges. Bottom line is this charge is a hidden tax levied by the city agency to maintain the infrastructure of our sewer system and treatment plants. Bureau of Sanitation has been collecting from DWP approx. $350 million dollars a year from this hidden tax. Where has the money gone all of these years? A portion has paid back the city general fund when there is a deficit every year. Most of the money goes for high salaried seasoned workers who need to be trained to get the job done and money spent on sub contractors outside the agency who over charge to do the job seasoned workers can’t do. Now a billion dollars is needed to fix our sewer system. The sewer service charge rates are going up for the next 5 years. Save your hard earned money by installing a Sub Water Meter. Don’t get overcharged by a plumber who does not know what he is doing but smells good. We get more Sub Water Meters than anyone else in the city. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce California Utility Services. We are a service business for LADWP account holders that does it all for you. Our primary objective

DWP Ratepayers Conserve-Rewarded Not Policed!

Would it not be wiser to reward ratepayers who do save water rather than spend hundreds of thousands of dollars maintaining a water police. The incentive would create a positive conservation plan. The fines levied will never capture back the amount of overhead the water police will end up spending.

Did you know the water tier system is allocated by zip code and square footage of your lot size? Look at a DWP water rate chart A & B. If you use the entire first tier or not you are going to pay for it. Why doesn't DWP count actual usage so those who use less than their allocated first tier can benefit. The answer to this is DWP wants to turn us upside down and shake every dollar out of our pockets.

Why doesn't DWP set a good example of saving water and turn off the fountains and ponds around their headquarters located downtown Los Angeles. Millions of gallons of water evaporate each year at this site. DWP GM Nahai allowed the million dollars expenditure to go through against his board members opinions and insists on rebuilding the entire pond filtration system and tiles around the building. He called the cost for rebuilding insignificant. What about the waste of water Mr. Nahai? Past GM had turned off the fountain and drained the pond when we had our last drought.
