Plenty of oversight
Oversight became the buzzword among officials as they debated the proposed DWP rate increases.
Several oversight committees will be watching the agency if the various proposals go through.
First, there is the existing Neighborhood Council oversight committee.
Also proposed, is an oversight panel of city officials, to provide quarterly updates to the City Council on the progress of various projects.
A third oversight committee of citizens was proposed by Councilman Dennis Zine, with each of the 15 council members appointing someone from their district to look over the utility.
DWP General Manager David Nahai said he welcomed all the oversight.
"We welcome the chance to wash away doubt," Nahai said.
