Turn off some of your computers and cut lawn sprinkling times? Your sewer charge is based on historical water consumption, so if you cut down on water that will go down over time.
As you probably now, your “solid resources fee” is going to go up $10/month or so starting very soon.

Even if I eliminate my use of electricity from the city, I too would be paying a hefty amount on my LADWP bill.
Dude! that’s pretty pricey
Electric: $40
Water: Apt is taking care of that
Gas: $25 avg (I cook a lot)
