Mich. Admin. Code R. 460.20318 - Gas leak investigation; establishment of service; customer leak complaint records
Rule 318.
(1) An
operator shall conduct an investigation of every gas leak report received as
soon as possible. If the investigation reveals a hazardous situation, then the
operator shall take immediate action to evacuate, repair, or isolate the
facilities involved to reduce any danger to the public.
(2) A distribution utility shall not
establish gas service to an applicant until the utility has made a leakage
test, using gas at utilization pressure, to ensure that the applicant's fuel
line is gastight and has made a determination that gas odor is detectible,
where applicable. If fuel lines are not present upon completion of meter
installation, the operator shall comply with all of the following:
(a) A valve shall be installed on the outlet
piping of the meter. This valve shall be in the closed position.
(b) The valve shall be tagged with contact
information of the distribution utility and notice that the fuel line
installation must comply with applicable fuel piping codes.
(c) A mechanical device or fitting that will
prevent the flow of gas shall be installed at the outlet piping.
(3) An operator shall keep records
of all customer leak complaints and the disposition of the
complaints.
