Lukins Brothers Water Company (LBWC) is aiming to be the first water company in the basin that is Firewise certified. It’s already joined the Fire Adapted Communities program and with new legislation, owner and president Jennifer Lukins hopes it could potentially lower insurance fees and water rates for the community. … Lukins believes other water systems could join Firewise as well, and it’s possible that once LBWC sets the precedent, more water systems may follow suit—especially as the water affordability crisis grows more critical in California with rising wildfire risks and insurance costs.
