SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON 
- WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR 
BILL? 

Many Monrovia residents, have noticed electricity 
bills for July have significantly increased compared 
to previous bills. Although summer months tend 
to have higher bills due to an increase in the 
summer rate and an increase in usage, there are 
also increases in provider rates that need to be ac-
counted for.

Southern California Edison (SCE) adopted two 
increases over the last several months. Their 
delivery rates increased 2% in March 2024 and 2% 
in June. Delivery rates account for approximately 
2/3 of a customer's bills. These SCE adjust-
ments, along with summer rate adjustments and 
usage increases, explain why most residents are 
receiving steeper bills. Keep close watch because 
if your usage continues un-adjusted, you'll see an 
even higher bill in August! 

If you are a Clean Power Alliance (CPA) customer, 
please note that CPA increased the generation 
costs for the 100% Green product by ~1% and 
lowered the generation cost of the Lean rate 
product by ~1%. CPA customers can make specific 
bill comparisons using their rate comparison tool 
and always remember you can opt for a different 
option or opt out altogether, anytime. 

If you have any questions, please visit the Southern 
California Edison site or Clean Power Alliance.

2,700 MORE RECORDS ADDED 
TO MONROVIA HISTORICAL 
SOCIETY ONLINE DIGITAL 
ARCHIVE

More than 2,700 historic images and documents 
were added this June to Monrovia's Legacy 
Project, the Monrovia Histori-cal Society's 
online digital record of photographs and papers 
from the city's early years.

The new items have been grouped in a dozen 
collections listed under "What's New?" on 
the Welcome page, (monrovialegacyproject.
org). Click on each title for a short description, 
suggested searches and

special treasures.

With City Historian Steve 
Baker’s passing in 2022, dozens 
more boxes worth of historical 
materials were discovered in his 
homes. Everything from maps 
and ledgers to scrapbooks and rare 
photos. With support from the 
city, “Monrovia Lega-cy Project 
2.0” began last summer, led again 
by Sandy Burud of the Monrovia 
Historical Society with help from 
volunteers. The first year of that 
effort to organize, identify, scan, 
archive and add them to the online 
collection is now complete.

Among new items are images of 
the Monroe Cottage that Wil-
liam and Mary Jane Monroe built 
before their palatial home, The 
Oaks, photos of William in Alaska 
— where he built a railroad after 
founding Monrovia, Wildcats 
newsletters from the 1930s, bios 
of early families, Steve Baker’s 
speeches and writings, insurance 
maps with building details in 1888, 
more Monrovia Days parades, 
E.B. Gray photographs of the San 
Gabriel canyons, Julius Parker’s 
scrapbook from WWII, the story 
behind the Sanatorium Wars in 
the 1920s, and many others.

The work is far from complete. 
Year Two is now underway, 
with more treasures to be 
documented. If you’d like to help 
or if you have historic photos or 
papers to add, please email the 
Monrovia Historical Society at 
monroviahistoricalsociety1896@
gmail.com or text/call 
626.675.8323.
