Pier Street gas lines replaced.

 "UNPROTECTED" PIPES REPLACED

Contractor EQUIX Energy Services has begun replacing "unprotected" steel gas service pipes to homes in the Fruit n' Nut neighborhood.  A 2019 audit by the Public Services Commission found the city had fallen behind in required inspection and maintenance.

Cost is about $550K and the project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

I can't believe the city has been operating unprotected steel gas mains and services this long without compliance with 49 CFR § 192.
