Summary
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) today began taking steps, as directed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), to reduce pressure on four natural gas transmission lines. The affected lines experienced temporary pressure increases of more than 10 percent over the maximum allowable operating pressure as established by federal regulations. These regulations require the pressure limits to include a wide margin of safety.
The lines covered by the order run from Manteca to Modesto, Milpitas to San Jose, and Watsonville through Aptos Hills. PG&E does not expect these reductions to impact gas service to customers under normal winter weather conditions. If extreme cold weather is forecast, PG&E will immediately work with the CPUC to minimize any service interruptions.See the full content of this document
