Dear Neighbors,
This past week my office was informed that the residents at Pilgrim Towers, the twin-towered senior residential facility, were going without air conditioning. They had also been challenged with being unable to access cooling centers.
We worked with the City team to ensure the residents were provided access to a mobile cooling station and transportation to a cooling station, such as the Jackie Robinson Community Center.
City departments, including the Public Health Department and Code Compliance officials, performed a walk-through the facility to ensure habitable temperatures inside the building. Our priority is the welfare of our residents, and we are committed to ensuring their safety and comfort during challenging weather conditions.
During this heat wave, it is imperative we all stay cool, especially our seniors and children -- whom we know are prone to heat-related health problems.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to the District 3 Office for assistance. Call us at (626) 744-4738.
Yours sincerely,
|

Pasadena Water and Power to Resume Late Fees and Interruptions for Bills Generated on or after July 1 |
This is an informational update. Pasadena Water and Power is committed to providing reliable electric and water service to all customers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, PWP suspended late fees and service interruptions for delinquent bills. In February 2023, the Governor ended the COVID-19 State of Emergency. In accordance with this action, PWP will resume charging late fees only for delinquent bills generated on or after July 1, 2023. For example: The July bill must be more than 30 days past due, which means the late fee could be assessed in August. NOTE: Accounts with any past due charges not enrolled in a payment arrangement plan are subject to service interruption.
PWP encourages customers with any past due balances to enroll in payment arrangements. PWP also offers bill assistance programs for qualifying customers. For more information, visit our Bill Assistance and Low Income Programs page.

Pasadena Paramedic Subscription Service
Emergency Medical Treatment and Transportation
|
The Pasadena Fire Department (PFD) recently implemented an Emergency Medical Services subscription program for our residents who are transported to the hospital by a PFD ambulance. This program costs $89/year and covers anyone living in your home. The benefit to this program is that you will incur no additional out of pocket expenses outside of what your insurance covers. Any deductible or co-pay that would normally be required by your insurance is waived.
Additional information on this program can be found on the city website at
Servicio de suscripción de paramédicos de Pasadena
Transporte y tratamiento médico de emergencia
El cargo por el transporte en ambulancia puede ser tan alto como $3,000. Incluso con un seguro médico, los copagos y los deducibles suelen oscilar entre $50 y $500 para el transporte en ambulancia, a veces más. Cuando necesite paramédicos, el costo no debe ser una preocupación.
Un nuevo programa ofrecido por el Departamento de Bomberos de Pasadena evitará tales gastos inesperados. La membresía en el Programa de suscripción de paramédicos de Pasadena brinda uso ilimitado del sistema médico de emergencia de Pasadena Fire para usted y los demás miembros de su hogar por una pequeña tarifa anual.
El Programa de suscripción de paramédicos de Pasadena es un programa de membresía voluntaria para servicios de paramédicos y transporte de emergencia en ambulancia. Cada dólar recibido por el programa se utiliza para mejorar los servicios médicos de emergencia para la comunidad y para mejorar nuestro sistema local de paramédicos.
Por solo $ 85 por año ($ 7 por mes), este programa voluntario brinda cobertura para las tarifas asociadas con cualquier servicio de paramédico o transporte de emergencia proporcionado.
