Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag suing the city of Los Angeles after losing their $2.5million home in fire Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are suing the City of Los Angeles and the Department of Water and Power (LADWP) after the couple lost their $2.5 million home in the Pacific Palisades fire.
The pair have alleged in the lawsuit, which was filed in California's Superior Court in Los Angeles County on Tuesday, that the fire was "an inescapable and unavoidable consequence" due to how the area's water supply was managed, and they accuse the LADWP of "failing to maintain an adequate water supply system to fight the blazes".
Spencer and Heidi and 20 other homeowners, including Spencer's mother Janet Pratt, are part of the lawsuit, which faults the LADWP for emptying the Santa Ynez Reservoir prior to the fires beginning earlier this month.
One of the claims made by the couple includes "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.".
Governor of California Gavin Newsom has ordered an investigation into the fire water supply that Los Angeles firefighters had access to.
