LADWP Committed to Undergrounding
Utilities in Pacific Palisades
PPCC is pleased to report that LADWP has confirmed its commitment to underground utilities in Palisades residential areas, beginning in the Alphabets. LADWP stresses that in some areas undergrounding may be "unachievable due to terrain or other technical challenges." A timeline / schedule is expected to be announced in February 2026. For more details, see: Undergrounding Memo. Additional information will be provided by the PPCC Infrastructure Committee at the next PPCC Board meeting on January 8, 2026.
