Job Opportunities with the
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
We welcomed the New Year with record stormwater capture numbers! Following the biggest storm of the rainy season so far, we estimate that the cumulative amount of stormwater captured from October 1, 2022, through January 10, 2023, is nearly 32,500 acre-feet. That's about 10.6 billion gallons—enough water to serve 139,000 households for a year or equivalent to filling 16,000 Olympic-size swimming pools!

Eviction & Tenant Rights
Both the City and County of Los Angeles are considering extending or modifying the eviction moratorium and eviction processes. Regardless of changes, all tenants and landlords should know their rights and have access to available resources.
