Residential and Multi-Residential service customers are billed on a bi-monthly cycle by the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power. For new customers, the first bill may cover a period  of more than or less than 60 days. Commercial service customers are billed on a monthly cycle.

Bills are due 19 days after being issued. A grace period of eight (8)  days for payments to be received is allowed before a Late Payment Charge  is applied. This late fee amounts to 1.5% per month per electric or water service that is past due and that exceeds $150. 

Late fees apply on a monthly basis and are based on the past due amounts. Payment extensions do not exempt you from this charge.
