LADWP has enlisted all available resources for response to the heat wave: 100 crews are currently assigned and working around the clock to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

LADWP continues urging all customers to conserve electricity wherever it is possible and safe to do so. Ways to reduce power usage include running major appliances in evening hours after dark, setting air conditioner thermostats to 78 degrees Fahrenheit, and turning off all unnecessary lighting and equipment. Conservation is recommended only where doing so does not jeopardize one’s own health or safety. For more information on ways to conserve, please see our full list of recommended energy conservation tips.

At a 3:00 p.m. news conference today, Department officials will brief the news media on the status of heat-related power outages, our around-the-clock restoration efforts and urge Angelenos to continue conserving energy.

The public and members of the media are encouraged to check the Department’s news site and Twitter page, @LADWP, for updates.
