Silver Lake residents are frustrated with LADWP after dealing with days-long power outages during a California heat wave.
As he sits in his dining room with the power restored, Anthony Cerceo says he feels great having things back to normal. The Silver Lake attorney and resident, however, isn’t happy with the LADWP.He waves an envelope in the air, saying, "I've already prepared my complaint for reimbursement for the expenses I've incurred over the last couple of days due to the power loss." Inside the envelope are receipts for a three-night stay—"about $600.
Back in Silver Lake, veteran electrical worker and supervisor Frank Cardenas said, "This is my fifth straight day. Sixteen-hour shifts... every day."That’s been the reality for electrical workers spread across the LADWP landscape, including the hills above Silver Lake, where another transformer blew. The culprit? Hot days and hot nights. "If the temperature doesn’t drop, our equipment doesn’t get a chance to cool off," says Cardenas.
