Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag sue city of L.A. and DWP after losing home in Palisades fire
Briefly

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles and the Department of Water and Power, following significant property damage during the Palisades fire which resulted in the loss of their home. They, along with over 20 affected residents, allege inverse condemnation due to the city's failure to manage the Santa Ynez Reservoir effectively. The reservoir was offline for repairs when the fire occurred, leading to inadequate water supply for firefighting efforts. Governor Newsom has initiated an investigation into the situation, which has raised alarm about the DWP's operational oversight.
The lawsuit claims that the operation of the Santa Ynez Reservoir and the negligence surrounding its management directly contributed to the property damages during the Palisades fire.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has ordered an investigation into the DWP following the fire, which saw critical water supply issues undermine firefighting efforts.
