Councilmember McOsker on LADWP Power Poles

Posted on 04/24/2023

“I am troubled and deeply concerned about the conditions of the LADWP power poles. As a municipal utility, LADWP has the responsibility to self-regulate and ensure the maintenance of these poles, yet our city utility allowed 1,600 poles to become dangerous. This is a time to be transparent and move quickly: we need DWP to map and immediately show where these high-risk power poles are located. We already saw how the condition of the poles can be fatal, Angelenos shouldn’t be left wondering if they’re safe because of DWP’s aging infrastructure.”
