Interim Chief Wiggs to Become Head of DWP
The City Council on Tuesday agreed to appoint David Wiggs to head the city’s Department of Water and Power, a position he has held on an interim basis since S. David Freeman left in May.
Wiggs, a former utility company executive, took over the DWP after Freeman left to work as an energy advisor to Gov. Gray Davis.
In the early 1990s, he served as president of El Paso Electric Co. He worked as the chief energy advisor to Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg (D-Sherman Oaks) before going to the DWP.
