LOS ANGELES : Average DWP Water Bill to Be Cut 8% in July

Thanks to an abundant snowmelt in the eastern Sierra, Los Angeles residents who use water wisely will receive an 8% decrease in water bills beginning July 1, the Department of Water and Power announced Tuesday.

Gerald Gewe, the DWP’s water resources manager, said that a typical customer who spent $45.67 for water in July and August last summer can expect to pay $39.12 during the same period this year.
