This case raises the question of whether the services supported by rates for water can include the cost of providing sufficient water flows to allow fire fighters to connect to a hydrant and fight fires.  CSAC’s brief argues that water rates can properly include the costs of providing sufficient flows to allow for adequate fire protection.  The brief was drafted by Daniel Hentschke in Solana Beach, and Thomas Bunn at Lagerlof, Senecal, Gosney & Kruse in Pasadena.
