Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) after their home was destroyed by the Palisades wildfire. The couple, along with nearly two dozen other plaintiffs including Spencer’s mother Janet Pratt, claim LADWP mishandled water supplies, leading to the disaster. The lawsuit alleges that LADWP failed to properly inspect or maintain its water supply system, which ultimately caused the destruction of their home and others nearby.
According to the plaintiffs, LADWP “made a conscious decision to operate the water supply system with the reservoir drained and unusable as a cost-saving measure.” The Santa Ynez Reservoir, which had been awaiting repairs since 2024, was cited in the lawsuit for its role in the failure of the water supply system.
The plaintiffs also shared their family’s devastation on social media, where Spencer’s sister, Stephanie Pratt, expressed her grief and shared how her father tried to help but failed due to strong winds.
The case highlights ongoing challenges with water management and infrastructure reliability in Los Angeles.
