Regulator Further Scrutinizes PG&E's Safety Oversight of Pipelines

The California Public Utilities Commission executive director sent another letter to PG&E's president today with a list of demands for the utility to comply with related to its natural gas pipelines througout the state.

This is the second list of demands PUC executive director Paul Clanon has sent to Pacific Gas & Electric Co. this week about its pipelines.

Today's letter includes orders for PG&E to provide a list of the utility's top 100 "high priority" pipelines, provide maps showing the location of each pipeline segment that hasn't yet been replaced or upgraded, and explain why it didn't finish replacing a "high risk" segment of Line 132, the same line of pipe that exploded last week in the Crestmoor neighborhood.
