New DWP Rate Tiers Proposed to Conserve Water

Two Los Angeles city officials Tuesday called for tougher restrictions on residential water customers in an effort to reduce water use during the state's unprecedented drought.

Councilmen Mike Bonin and Felipe Fuentes asked the Department of Water and Power to report on recommendations made by UCLA to add extra tiers of water use at a higher price.
