What metric does LADWP use to gauge its success in public transparency?

LADWP prioritizes public transparency through the sharing of operations, budgets, and performance metrics with the public. This approach ensures that stakeholders and community members have access to relevant information regarding the utility's performance and financial accountability. Transparency in these areas allows residents to better understand how resources are allocated and used, fostering trust between the utility and the community it serves.

In contrast, while generating reports each year may contribute to transparency, simply tallying the number of reports does not inherently indicate the effectiveness of communication or public engagement. Public sentiment analysis focuses on gauging community opinion but does not directly measure transparency practices. The average time taken to resolve disputes reflects operational efficiency rather than the clarity and openness of information shared with the public. Thus, sharing comprehensive metrics about operations, budgets, and performances serves as a critical benchmark for transparency success at LADWP.
