http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-tom-selleck-water-complaint-20150707-story.html
......Before filing the complaint, the water district tried to get Selleck to halt the unlawful water deliveries. In November 2013, Calleguas sent cease-and-desist letters to both Sellecks home and an Avenue of the Stars address thats linked to the property, according to court papers.
As recently as March 2015, the water truck was spotted filling up at the same hydrant and delivering water to Sellecks estate on four separate days, according to the complaint.
In addition to legal fees and investigative costs, the water district is seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction barring Selleck and his contractors or employees from taking water from the Calleguas district.
A representative for Selleck could not be reached for comment.
