Outrage Across Los Angeles Over Skyrocketing LADWP Bills Los Angeles residents are furious over soaring LADWP electricity bills, with some households receiving charges in the thousands. Canter’s Deli on Fairfax reportedly saw its bill jump from approximately $24,400 to $35,700 in just a few months. One major reason is LADWP’s tiered pricing system. In the tiered pricing system, the more electricity used, the higher the pricing is on additional electricity used passed each tier mark. During heat waves, air conditioners run longer, pushing customers into higher tiers. They end up paying not only for more electricity but also higher rates on the additional usage. More than 24,000 people have reportedly signed a petition demanding an investigation, while LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia is examining the complaints.
