Bill Supports California Water Agencies in Fire Claims
California legislation has been passed to clarify that public water agencies are not responsible for designing or maintaining water systems specifically for wildfire suppression. The bill aims to reduce legal liability for water agencies when firefighting efforts are hampered by low water pressure or dry hydrants during wildfires. It also requires water suppliers in high fire risk areas to include wildfire response procedures in their disaster plans. The legislation is awaiting governor approval and seeks to improve wildfire preparedness while limiting costly lawsuits.
