L.A. catastrophe brings to forefront need to inspect and maintain city fire hydrants; residents raised alarms about issue over a year ago when hydrants failed during Muir Oaks blaze
Hope the Mayor & City Council follow up on your mention about "the continued wisdom of Martinez operating its own water system". Thanks for reporting on this crucial issue!
I think it should be mentioned that Martinez Water (district?/separate from city government) provides water to less than half the total sq/mi of City of Martinez.
My understanding is that the city government handles all water service and infrastructure within city limits (though I believe it purchases the water from Contra Costa Water District). CCWD would provide the service in the unincorporated areas of Martinez.
