City Attorney Mike Feuer announced plans of a major lawsuit after a contractor for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power mismanaged customer billing, costing the city millions in damages.
Feuer is expected Friday to detail the major lawsuit that involves overcharging customers.
NBC4’s I-team investigated customer complaints of inflated bills and demanded answers from the LADWP.
"We've been advised by the city attorney's office not to speak on camera about this," DWP spokesman Joe Ramallo told NBC4 in February.
The email response from the DWP stated that billing estimates "can occur for a variety of reasons."
One mathematician, Nathan Wells, tracked and calculated his bills to discover he was left with a bill three times what it should be.
"I think the LADWP is worse than the mafia," Wells told the NBC4 I-Team in a previous report. "It's impossible to deal with them."
Feuer was expected to speak to the media at 10:30 a.m. Friday with details on the suit.
