The area LVMWD serves is considered high fire danger, and many residents here remember the devastation that the 2018 Woolsey Fire brought to our communities. With the current drought restrictions in place on outdoor watering, many of our customers expressed concerns over their ability to protect their homes in the case of another wildfire.
