According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Spencer and Heidi say the city and DWP failed on multiple levels … from infrastructure to water management.
Spencer and Heidi claim a nearby reservoir was empty — and had been offline for months — when the Palisades Fire ignited … limiting the flow of water to fire hydrants and tankers in the Palisades, where firefighters say they ran out of water trying to fight the inferno.

The couple says DWP was trying to save costs by draining the reservoir and seeking bids for repairs … and they claim it ended up costing homeowners dearly when a fire ripped through town.

Spencer and Heidi are also blaming L.A. and DWP for a faulty water system design … they say there was no way infrastructure could effectively fight wildfires, a flaw they claim city officials admitted to in the wake of the fires.
