One year increase proposed
Councilwoman Jan Perry, in a compromise designed to head off some of the debate, called for increasing rates for one year -- 2.9 percent for power and 3.1 percent for water -- to see how well the DWP performs in improving its infrastructures.
Included in the proposal are a number of detailed reporting requirements by the agency on its work plan as well as a new oversight committee to make sure it is performed as promised.
