How did water get into gas lines? Did they rupture both a water main and a gas
main at the same time?
It seems so. Just heard on the news that the two companies involved
haven't decided whose fault it is yet. They plan to decide within 2
to 8 weeks.
Sounds like a highly skilled team of craftman ! condensation is always in gas
lines so unless you turn burner on and water comes out I don't see how it could
I think that is the situation! They showed a hole they were digging
in to repair this. It affected maybe 30 to 100 houses, I think. Some
say their insurance companies won't pay, or that there is a high
deductible, but I think one of the utilities will pay when they decide
which one it is. And of course, people with gas heat or hot water do
need to get things working.
harm anything. ( Remembers an old Three Stooges movie LOL! ) I would call the
gas company if you are concerned, but in MA code requires a drip on gas lines
to catch condensation. Maybe you could have a plumber drain them for you.
Well, I'm glad to say it's not my lines that have water. (In fact, the
builder didn't put gas in this development. I wish he had, but at
least the next townhouse won't have a gas explosion.)
