But is the Department of Water and Power doing their best? You continue to give out permits to a growing population of ugly apartments that use more water and energy than single family dwellings do. You say that more of my water is used outdoors. Why is that an issue when we have so much rain? We hardly used outdoor water at all December to February. "YOUR WATER SCORE" is a bold-faced lie! Complete guilt driven propaganda. I know I have a very efficient home and I have for years. This sheet of paper is the biggest fraud in the world. Shame on you. I will say it again. Shame on you and your propaganda. I do not believe anything on this sheet except you are pushing your personalized plan. Push more like better water meters. Mandatory stop building Big Ugly Apartments in the San Fernando Valley. Stop sending me this and save some paper.

Leonard explained the cost of around $1,000 permit included, and that in my case with my particular water usage I would see an ROI in about 4 years.

The best thing about SCE: Once someone came out to troubleshoot the problem (dirty power resulting in constant grid disconnects) the service was genuinely amazing. The technician diagnosed the problem on the spot (squirrels had eaten the aluminum power line coating from the transformer to our house) and summoned a huge crew that fixed it completely (replaced the entire length with copper power wires) within a couple of hours.

For a while, it was appointment only at this particular office which was frustrating since I just started coming back here again during this time, and was not aware (I wouldn't have been on any email list regarding this either). This went on for a few months then finally I was told next time in person that they were back open as normal. Now you take a ticket (deli-style) but the wait isn't usually long at all. Plenty of seating, security in the corner, all good. Employees at the window have been nothing but friendly; I almost look forward to coming here since I've never had bad service. Once again, I will say I am just paying a bill, not trying to get service turned on or any other issue. Thanks LADWP Hollywood office!

Each time it's due I go and I never feel stupidly d when I ask questions about it. It's just nice to be around kind humans that can help a customer understand their bill. It's a clean office and security is helpful as we all know it can get cray outside but inside we are safe and sound. Very rarely there is a wait and we are lucky compared to other electric offices in town. Thank you everybody, see you every 2 months! Your Hollywood neighbor - Beau :)

A quick walk-in fixes that issue. The most common route to SoCal Gas may be taking Van Nuys and then parking in the residential streets. Note that there is metered (and 2-hour limit) for parking, BUT if you drive a little further in the residential area, parking is free! They are quite available on a weekday afternoon, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that LADWP was also in the same building. Without exaggeration, I was in and out within a few minutes! Note that they do require some documentation before they may start service, but that's all expected! The lady who helped me out was caring and even asked for information to check our qualifications for assistance programs.

Thousand Oaks Location: 620 E. Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360…read more Very poor business practice. Stay away. I purchased over $ 150.00 worth of spotlights and bulbs, and 4 of the bulbs (one was broken in the box) had the wrong lumens and didn't look good in my home. They were amber-looking when I told the clerk I wanted cool white. I tried to return the 4 bulbs the next day and was initially told that they don't accept returns. Unbelievable. Then I was reluctantly offered a store credit. The clerk's demeanor and arrogance were appalling. I was told that it's the owner's policy. I don't believe him. This policy is not posted anywhere, nor was I told that this was a final sale. We will never buy from this store again. There is nothing proprietary about these light bulbs, and they are readily available at a lesser price online, in Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, etc. I tried patronizing a local vendor in Thousand Oaks. They did nothing but leave a bad taste in my mouth. I guess that's what I get for trying to support local business. Never again for this store. Stay away.

After trying to explain this multiple times and explaining we have 26 days left until we voluntarily agreed to leave the property despite the new owners having no just cause and our lease being valid and required by the court to be honored the beautiful customer service people at the DWP refused to help us in any way . Demanding we pay $1100 to have water They are the most disgusting and vile human beings on the planet One lady at the van nuys office sat there stuffing her face as she refused to hear anything we said We did not agree to this bill nor did we have any knowledge of the charges skyrocketing at any point and had no way to even question this massive overcharge as the utilities are Nitin our name nor were we allowed at any time to get service in our name even though we tried many times when the property switched hands The lack of any customer service and the totalitarian way they treat people there is probably an example of the quest subset of human beings on the planet At least at the van nuys office The customer Reps there aren't qualified to fill potholes let alone have any legal decision making powers over any thing like this The can't even spell their name let alone determine the right and ethical way to deal with situation that don't fall in side of there narrow guidelines They lack any peope skills and the security guard who looks like he couldn't even fit through the double doors there should focus on joining a weight loss program instead of treating customers like they are criminals If at all possible I will never use the DWP services again as the whole organization seems to be run by the lowest common dominator in society sanctioned by who knows who and operates a minopoly . I pay my bills always have which is more than I can say fur Chartreuse or whatever her name was with the 12 inch pink fingernails and I can guarantee you that I would not ever deny someone the right to clean water and hygiene which they could use themselves over there Hands down the LADWP is garbage and should be dissolved and the employees at van nuys sent to charm school because they have the personalities and human connection of a burnt piece of toast Water is a god given right Just because some jackasses damned up the water and claimed it for their own doesn't mean that any one should deny a person of water The DWP has no decency and does not see outside their profit margins which being a government agency should not have profits The lack of ability to recognize situations that don't fall under their very one sided proticols is a sign of a greater failure in the governance we all have allowed to be taken over by lowlifes Go to the van nuys office and I guarantee you walk out of there wishing you were Canadian Our leaders are failures and they hire their failure relatives to fail us as citizens The city of Los Angeles is run by fascists and greedy so called multicultural puppets not qualified to be target setters on the open area shooting range and probably should be restrained and thrown in a river
