How do you save money on your ladwp bill?
In 1996 the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation made available through a municipal code Sec. 64 program called the Sewer Service Charge Relief Program. This program allows residential and commercial property owners the right to purchase a second water meter or water sub meter from DWP. The purpose of this sub water meter is to meter actual usage of water brought into the building or installed on the irrigation waterlines for calculation of the sewer service charge (SSC). This SSC charge is currently estimated if no water sub meter has been purchased. The savings can be as high as 80% off of the sewer service charges located on page two of a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power bill. I called California Utility Services 800-400-1727 and they did it all for me. I am now saving $130.00 every bi-monthly bill. They were professional and reasonable.
