I was moving a gas line in my old house in Santa Clara.
During the inspection I asked if they needed to do a leak pressure test.
The inspector said “If we had to do it for all homes in San Jose, 90% would fail”
Have any of these Watermelon Enviro-Nazis ever seen a underground storage well “conditioned”?
Do they even LOOK at the “pending blowdown” reports as filed?
The envirofascists don’t care about facts - they don’t want ANY human activity - or any humans for that matter (except themselves, of course).
For a little over 30 years there was a natural gas leak on our road about 500 feet from our house. When the wind was just right it would fill the house with that Mercaptan smell.
The gas company had been called by me and many neighbors numerous times and nothing was ever done and that again is over 30 years.
Only when the property where the leak had occurred was put up for sale did National Fuel Gas come out to fix it. Evidently the Realtor could not sell the land with that stink.
Small leaks which are NOT enough to explode are inconsequential to NFG as gas is so cheap (unless you have to pay for it in you heating bill).
And by the way Methane can be burned as a fuel and we are stinking rich with the stuff (no pun intended, well yes)
