Despite those best efforts, outages can still occur that are not predictable, and therefore, not preventable. The California Government Code is the leading authority when dealing with governmental claims in California, and makes clear that governmental negligence is based on an act or an omission by an employee.
LADWP is committed to providing reliable power to over 1.5 million customers throughout Los Angeles. When outages do occur, regardless of the cause, LADWP crews work around the clock to restore power as quickly and as safely as possible. Customers can count on this care on a priority basis 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
