LADWP HEAT STORM UPDATE — 12 noon, Monday, September 9, 2024

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 (LOS ANGELES)- Below is an update on our heat storm response as of 12 noon on Monday, September 9, 2024.

As of noon, the number of customers without electric service stands at 6,700 out of LADWP's 1.5 million electric customers. There are currently 96 area outage incidents which affect small numbers of customers at the community level. This is proving challenging when it comes to the ability to restore a higher number of customers at one time. That's due to the fact that each restoration on small, localized outages, yields a small number of customers restored and the reason why it may take longer than 24 hours for a crew to respond to an outage. We are asking customers whose outage response times extend beyond 24 hours to call our call center at 1-800-DIAL-DWP (1-800-342-5397) so that we can reach out to them directly.

We are utilizing all available resources to support our restoration efforts at this time with the priority to restore the longest duration outages.

We continue to share information via our social media channels, including this LADWP September 2024 Outage Response FAQ which is posted in our newsroom and will be shared in our news release and social media. We will also be continuing to remind our customers to conserve energy in a way that will not compromise their health and safety.

LADWP continues to share information via its social media channels and here on LADWP's newsroom page.
