Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including water corporations. Existing law prohibits a water corporation from charging an entity providing fire protection service for the costs of furnishing water for that service and for other related costs, except pursuant to a written agreement between the water corporation and the entity providing fire protection service.
This bill would require the commission, by January 1, 2022, to prepare and submit to the Legislature a report concerning those agreements between water corporations and local fire protection agencies.
