The family of Ferdinand Tejada and Janine Tejada settled for nearly $40 million, after their lawsuit said LADWP didn't properly maintain the electrical pole that killed the two in 2021.
Monday. "The loss their loved ones have experienced is unfathomable. While nothing we do can bring them back, serious failures contributed to this tragedy, and we have committed to reform and major improvement to LADWP's pole inspection and maintenance program.
"All inspections are now made in compliance with state regulations and standards, according to strict timelines set by regulators," the agency said. "This work will be conducted over the next two weeks and may involve repairs or replacement of electrical distribution equipment attached to the pole, high voltage wires and attachments, or replacement and repair of the pole itself," Park said in a statement."As a municipal utility, LADWP has the responsibility to self-regulate and ensure the maintenance of these poles, yet our city utility allowed 1,600 poles to become dangerous," McOsker said in a statement.
"While priority repairs are of highest concern, there remains a backlog of non-urgent, non-public safety related repairs that will be completed within the prescribed regulatory time frames until the program backlog is cleared and kept up to date," the LADWP said.
