provisions:
(1) If the facilities are
abandoned in place, they shall be physically disconnected from the main at the

plugged, or otherwise effectively sealed.
(2) In cases where a main is abandoned,
together with the service lines connected to it, insofar as service lines are
concerned, only the customers' end of the service lines need be
sealed.
(3) Until the time a
service is abandoned, it shall be treated as active for purposes of applying
the regulations of 49 CFR 192. If a service line is not treated as an active
line, it shall be physically disconnected at the main and purged, no later than
2 years after becoming inactive.
