SB 1153: Disaster preparedness: urban retail water suppliers and public water systems: wildfire.

This bill requires urban retail water suppliers serving high or very high fire hazard zones to include incident-specific response procedures for wildfires in their disaster preparedness plans. The plans must include mitigation actions, procedures, and equipment to lessen the impact of wildfires on the water system and drinking water supply. The bill also removes liability for public water systems if they cannot maintain water supply or pressure during a wildfire and prohibits considering the spread of wildfire as an inherent risk presented by the water system's design, construction, or maintenance. Additionally, the bill does not require state reimbursement for certain costs.
