Narrative
Additional nrc report number (1209884) obtained from nrc for this incident on 04/20/18 @ 18:41. Water leakage from adjacent 8" cast iron water main with a water pressure of 100 psig abraded an approximate 1-1/2" hole in a 2" pe gas main. Water infiltrated the gas system resulting in the loss of gas service to 130 residential customers. Due to issues with the water in the system and the hardship of evacuating the water from the system, 2,521' of 2" pe plastic pipe and 1,618' of 4" pe plastic pipe was replaced. Once the incident was made safe it was identified that repairs to the affected pipeline would exceed the $50,000 threshold for reporting where the national response center (nrc) was contacted at that time.
