According to Council Member Mitch O’ Farrell, “the Department of Water and Power (DWP) and the LA City Authorities is doing all what it can to improve the power services so it will not happen again and inconvenience the residents anymore.”
The Echo Park residents noted that the July 1 brown out was one of the longest in the city. There were brown-outs but it only last for more than an hour at most or less than fifteen minutes or less.
“ Power interruptions or brown outs becomes common during summer when the heat is high and many residents uses their air conditioners all at the same time,” DWP source says.
