--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHAT:    "Water and Power in the History of Los Angeles,"
         LADWP's traveling historical exhibit that chronicles
         the development of the nation's largest municipal
         utility and provides insight into the role LADWP has
         played in the development of the City of Los
         Angeles, will be on display for a special viewing at
         Ports O' Call Village in San Pedro. The exhibit will
         be free and open to the public from August 22 until
         October 6, 2002.

WHY:     LADWP celebrates 100 years of service to the
         residents and businesses of Los Angeles. Without the

         visionaries such as William Mulholland and E.F.
         Scattergood to invest in and develop vital water and
         power systems, the City of Los Angeles may not have
         become the important metropolis it is today.
