Keep reading to find out more… In their lawsuit, which was filed on Tuesday (January 21), Spencer and Heidi have accused the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power of “failing to maintain an adequate water supply system to fight the blazes,” pointing to “delays in in repairing the Santa Ynez Reservoir, leaving the massive water storage complex in the heart of the Palisades empty for nearly a year,” per THR.

20 other property owners have joined the lawsuit, blaming the LA Dept of Water and Power of emptying the reservoir before the fire, “allegedly to seek contractor bids rather than use in-house personnel to repair it. “This stated public purpose was far outweighed by the substantial risk posed to Pacific Palisades by wildfires,” the suit states. “The degree of damage that resulted from the Palisades Fire far outweighed any benefit that could have been realized by outsourcing and delaying repairs.” According to THR, the lawsuit “alleges inverse condemnation, which allows property owners to seek compensation over damages caused by public use.

It seeks unspecified damages.” Following losing their home and much of what they worked for, Spencer started heavily using TikTok and urged fans to stream Heidi‘s debut album so they could earn money to start rebuilding their lives.
