What significant challenge does LADWP face related to infrastructure?

LADWP faces a significant challenge related to aging infrastructure due to the necessity of maintaining and upgrading systems that have been in place for many years. As infrastructure ages, it can lead to increased maintenance costs, potential service interruptions, and the need for significant investment in repair or replacement initiatives. Aging infrastructure may not be able to support modern technology or the demands of a growing population and can impact the reliability of service delivery. Therefore, addressing the needs of aging systems has become a high priority for LADWP to ensure continued efficiency and reliability in their utility services. The other options, while important, do not address the fundamental issues associated with the physical infrastructure that underpins their operations.
