Los Angeles – CBS 2 News recently aired a report that showed a group of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power employees consuming alcohol and frequenting exotic bars while on the clock.

The investigation led by reporter David Goldstein included on-camera footage of at least three employees purchasing alcohol, entering bars and driving with in DWP moving vehicles.

Raman Raj, chief operating officer of the DWP released the following statement: “LADWP management immediately initiated a full internal investigation, which we will complete within 30- 60 days.

… I want to assure our customers that we take any allegation regarding inappropriate behavior by our employees very seriously.  Any employee who is found to have acted inappropriately will be held accountable and will face swift disciplinary action.  For violations involving alcohol use on the job or other inappropriate conduct, penalties include action up to and including termination. If potential criminal activity is discovered, it will be immediately reported to the Los Angeles City Attorney and Los Angeles County District Attorney.

LADWP has a zero tolerance policy in place regarding alcohol and drug use in the workplace.

In addition to the above investigation, I have directed the Senior Assistant General Manager of our Power System to review this matter fully to determine where supervisory lapses may have occurred, and to take additional corrective and disciplinary action if warranted. 

Our customers and employees should know that when incidents occur, we take them seriously; we will investigate them fully, and take appropriate disciplinary action quickly."
