PWP WANTS YOU TO BE AWARE OF SCAMMERS

Scammers are getting increasingly more bold and creative. Recent common scams include: phone calls demanding payment to prevent water or electric service shut off, and unscheduled home visits from scammers posing as PWP contractors offering home energy audit services. We want you to know that PWP never accepts payment over the phone and PWP would never visit your home without a scheduled appointment and proper identification. If you are unsure, end the call or do not let them enter your home. Call PWP Customer Service to confirm at 626.744.4005.

Never connect more than three stings of incandescent lights.
Always unplug electric decorations before replacing bulbs or fuses.
Turn off all indoor and outdoor electrical decorations before leaving your home or going to sleep.

PWP - A PLAYER IN THE TRANSPORTATION FUTURE

PWP participated in a Transportation Symposium on October 25 - where national policy makers and industry leaders gathered to identify solutions and actions to achieve a 2030 goal for a clean transportation economy. Atttendees could look and sit in a range of electric big rigs, and PWP showcased three electric vehicles (EVs) from its green fleet.

Pasadena visitors can benefit from accessing more than a dozen free city-owned charging stations throughout the city, one of which is a fast charger. In addition, PWP offers a variety of incentives, including home charging units and more for residents to go electric.
