Separate electric meter at ADU & Duplex project - San Fernando

[Jay Dimacali]

Hello BP community,

I've got an ADU project where I'm almost done but right now I have the Los Angeles DWP saying I can have a separate meter for my ADU. The issue is that I have a duplex where the ADU is being built and I wanted to have 2 separate electric meters for the duplex (it obviously didn't have it before). They don't have separate addresses (previous owner never went through the process so I just note each place as "Unit A" and "Unit B.") The DWP meter spot person said each house needs its own address. My question is: Has anyone dealt with the LA DWP and gotten separate meters for a duplex, triplex, etc.? Anything that can be done 'quickly' to get an approval for separate meters?
