LADWP Windstorm Response Update - Sunday, January 12, 2025: 5PM

As of 5 PM, approximately 18,500 customers remain without power, out of LADWP's 1.5 million electric customers- most of whom are in the fire-affected areas of Pacific Palisades and Brentwood. Our crews are currently assessing the fire-affected areas and will begin restoration efforts when assessments have been completed.

Other communities still experiencing outages include Venice, Encino and Sunland.

Crews have restored power to more than 360,000 customers since the start of the windstorm.

We continue to ask customers to report any downed wire sightings by calling 911 and making sure not to make contact with any wires. ALWAYS ASSUME wires are live and stay away.

SUPPORTING THE FIRE RESPONSE

LADWP is taking every measure available to us to restore water pressure to the Palisades area portion of its water supply system, in advance of more high winds in the weather forecast.

Over 8.5 billion gallons of water are available in three, open-air LADWP reservoirs and are being actively used by CALFIRE and LAFD to support their aerial attack. They will remain a critical part of the firefight and are fully available. LADWP's Hollywood Reservoir, Lower Stone Canyon and the Encino Reservoirs have been critical in protecting lives and property throughout the firefight.

LADWP is supporting firefighting efforts with nineteen water tankers, each holding 2,000 to 4,000 gallons, running continuously to supply water to firefighters. They'll keep supplying water ahead of forecasted high winds and continue until the fires are fully contained.

UPDATE ON RESTORING WATER PRESSURE TO PALISADES AREA

Over 200 employees are working on this effort. They are working around the clock to shut off services that were destroyed by fire and taking the steps needed to restore system pressure by fixing customer and distribution system leaks and shut of all fire hydrants that were left open.

These measures will boost water pressure throughout the system, restoring flow to our three, one-million-gallon storage tanks at higher elevation and all neighborhood pipes in the Palisades area.

This process requires multiple steps at various elevations to charge the pipes with water, identify leaks, and then repair or cap services. Once enough repairs are made, pressure will be strong enough to refill the tanks, which takes between 8-12 hours. There is plenty of water available from LADWP and regional sources coming through our large pipes serving the area to refill the tanks.

As of 5 PM today, LADWP has shut off over 4,200 residential and commercial connections to homes and businesses.
