DWP Equity Metrics Update

Updates to the Equity Metrics Data Initiative (EMDI) are provided to the Board of Water and Power Commissioners twice a year, in February and August. Since there was not a second Board meeting in August, the next update is scheduled for the Board of Water and Power Commissioners Meeting on Wednesday, September 5. The meeting begins at 10 a.m. We invite all interested customers, Neighborhood Council members and other stakeholders to review the LADWP Rates and Equity Metrics Semi-Annual Report to learn more about this important data-driven initiative that tracks and reports how LADWP fulfills its mission across the entire City.

LADWP Corporate Performance staff will continue to provide updates on EMDI to the Board in February and August of each year. If you are interested in following​ the progress of this initiative we encourage you to monitor or attend these meetings. Board agendas can be viewed online at www.ladwp.com/board and reports and other information about EMDI can be found online at http://www.ladwp.com/equitymetrics. Thank you for tracking the progress of this important initiative. We look forward to your continued interest.

What is the Equity Metrics Data Initiative?

As part of the LADWP Rate Action approved in 2016, and subsequently reviewed and approved by the Board, LADWP established the Equity Metrics Data Initiative (EMDI) to track, measure and report on how LADWP programs are provided to all LADWP customers and residents of Los Angeles. The EMDI establishes a framework that helps ensure that we provide fair and reasonable services to all ratepayers. Stakeholder outreach and participation have been an important part of this initiative to ensure equity for our customers.

We encourage you to share this invitation with any individuals, organizations or other stakeholders who you feel may be interested in learning more about this first of its kind initiative in the City of LA.
