Water

Well I am about to go take my final in my Water Distribution II class. I was looking through the news today just to get a look at what is going on on the water world. Well besides the obvious disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with the oil leak. I caught an article dated June 1 in the Los Angeles Times. Looks like there moving forward on raising LADWP water rates 8% this year. They just went through a big battle over the electricity rates. Makes me relieved that I don't live in DWP utility area. As long as the LA Mayor continues to use LADWP as a slush fund, the utility rates will rise and rise and rise some more. DWP has their own governing body separate from the city counsel, appointed by the mayor might I point out. Isn't that like having the fox guard the hen house??? Well it doesn't affect me directly but just thought that I might point this out

Try to keep your pocketbooks safe and good luck!!!
