Just tell ‘em to shut their mouths.
Combine that with the gasbaggery coming from the Capitol and the White House and it would be reasonable to think the place is ready to blow.
Frack it.
Not to mention Mexican rstaurants
Just fill the pipes with air and let the residents help save the Erf by not burning gas anymore.

It’s coming from Obama.
“about 10 times greater than the threshold at which explosions can occur. “
Well if its above the explosive level then there’s no issue! /s of course!
Natural gas has a small combustion range, between 4-14% concentration burning the fastest at 10%. Anything more or less will not burn, but if there is a heavy concentration, somewhere close by it is in that explosive range.
Leaks happen in old steel and cast iron systems, corrosion protection was not the greatest decades ago. Most utilities have periodic driving or walking surveys over mains and services with electronic equipment to detect leaks. If any are found, further investigation by making test holes in the area would tell if it is something that needs immediate attention.
One would think if the case here were actually as described immediate attention would be required.
Most gas lines over 20 years old are steel, not ductile iron.
I didn’t realize there were any out there.
Well there is hope that the aging infrastructure and a match will take care of what the ballot box hasn’t in past years.
I guess the answer is to spend more. After all, it's only free government money.
You had to know what was going to happen to the thread!
