POWER DELIVERY MASTER PLAN PROCESS HAS BEGUN
|
PWP is in the process of creating an important document for the benefit of power delivery planning. The Power Delivery Master Plan (PDMP) is a detailed strategic plan focused on addressing critical challenges, long-term strategies, and future guidance in order to maintain a safe, reliable, sustainable and economically sound power delivery system.
PWP wants the community's feedback on this project. Join us on
Thursday, November 7

SHELDON RESERVOIR COMMUNITY DEMONSTRATION GARDEN COMING SOON
|
PWP is embarking on a landscape transformation at the Sheldon Reservoir, which will feature a sidewalk, drought tolerant parkway plantings along Arroyo Blvd., and a newly constructed Community Demonstration Garden along Coniston Rd. Additionally, a closed loop path will be installed for ease of exploring the garden along with signage to learn about the plants and features.
Local Pasadena businesses have generously donated cardboard for PWP's use in sheet mulching. Sheet mulching with cardboard is an innovative way to prepare soil for planting.
Construction has already begun, and PWP expects the garden to be completed by Spring 2020. PWP will be hosting onsite workshops throughout the project for customers interested in learning more about sheet mulching, Hugels and planting.
Stay tuned!

ARROYO SECO CANYON PROJECT - CEQA SCOPING MEETING THIS NOVEMBER
|
The Arroyo Seco Canyon Project (ASCP) endeavors to take a multi-benefit approach to improving PWP's water resources by addressing the shortcomings of its existing infrastructure, while also enhancing the natural habitat and the recreational experience for visitors of the local trail system into the Angeles National Forest. PWP has been working towards preparing an Environmental Impact Report regarding the ASCP, and currently the initial phase of this process has begun.
Information and important documents will be made public by mid-October, and PWP is seeking feedback and public input this November during a CEQA scoping meeting.
Join us on November 21 at Robinson Park Recreation Center at 6 PM.

PWP REMINDER: LOW INCOME ASSISTANCE
ELIBILITY HAS BEEN EXPANDED
|
Now more Pasadena customers may qualify for PWP's low-income offerings. PWP expanded the eligibility levels and increased the monthly benefit amount for the Electric Utility Assistance program, beginning July 2019.
Part of PWP's mission is to provide reliable water and power, along with reasonable rates, to all of its customers. We understand that keeping the lights on can sometimes be a challenge on a fixed income. With the increased monthly benefit, eligible low-income customers between the ages of 18-61 can now receive a $10 or more credit on their utility bill.
PWP also offers bill assistance to eligible low-income seniors (62 years or older) and individuals with permanent disabilities.
