CONCERN OVER DWP'S BILLION DOLLAR POWER RELIABILITY UPGRADE PROGRAM

An email from Daily News' Kerry Cavanaugh regarding DWP's 5-year, billion dollar "Power Reliability" upgrade program sent a few emails into ZD's email inbox.

Here's how it all went down. The original email from Kerry to Soledad S. Garcia, Vice Chair of Neighborhood Council & Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Oversight Committee (an Assembly of Elected Neighborhood Council) that sent a few more emails from concerned citizens into ZAP (Zuma's Activist Plan) Headquarters inbox.

Hello Soledad,

I'm a reporter with the LA Daily News and I'm writing about the DWP's Power Reliability Program, a $1 billion, 5-year plan to upgrade the power system.

Have you heard about this? What do you think about this effort?

Thanks,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,

Yes, the plan is for more than a $billion for 40 -70 years of deferred maintenance. The City of Los Angeles deserves to have the power system continuously upgraded. We have many years of wear that require newer replacements to meet the impact of greater demands and withstand emergencies.
