The recent enactment of SB 1153 represents a significant development for California public water systems, addressing both wildfire-related liability and the operational responsibilities of water agencies serving wildfire-prone areas. The new law provides important protections concerning the role of public water systems in wildfire defense and suppression, while also establishing new preparedness and planning requirements for certain urban retail water suppliers. Because the implications extend well beyond the legal language of the statute, we have assembled a distinguished group of water industry leaders who were closely involved with the legislation and who understand its practical consequences. Featured Program and Speakers: • Jennifer Capitolo, Executive Director, California Water Association – Moderator • Brad Kuhn and Willis Hon, Nossaman LLP – Legal Framework • David Pedersen, General Manager, Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, and Vice President, CalMutuals JPRIMA Board of Directors – Operational Framework • Interactive Q&A
