PG&E Releases List of Pipelines at Risk

 PG&E held a press conference in San Francisco on Monday afternoon to discuss the San Bruno explosion.

The utility released the Top 100 at-risk pipelines to the California Public Utilities Commission earlier Monday and posted the information on its site. The San Bruno pipeline was not on the Top 100 list.

It also released a map and list of gas transmission pipeline planning segments in the Bay Area. 

Here are the lines PG&E is evaluating for possible replacement near Dublin: 13,835 feet of pipe between Livermore and Arroyo del Valle, due to the design materials used and the potential for ground movement. The section is located across the open hills from south Livermore to Arroyo del Valle.

•  14,730 feet of pipe between Arroyo del Valle and Foleys Crossover, south of Livermore from Arroyo del Valle to the Valecitos Valley, because of design materials used and the potential for ground movement. The section is south of Livermore from Arroyo del Valle to the Vallecitos Valley.
• 4,990 feet of pipeline between Ruby Hills to Foleys Crossover in Livermore because of potential for ground movement. This pipeline is on the steep slopes over Pigeon Pass near Highway 84 south of Livermore.

In addition to the updated map and list of questionable pipelines, customers are encouraged to call the PG&E pipeline helpline at 1-888-743-7431 to determine whether they live within 500 feet of gas transmission pipelines.
