At its meeting on Oct, 9, the San Carlos City Council voted unanimously to end the State of Emergency declared on Oct. 4 in response to a series of internal emails from PG&E regarding the condition of line 147 which carries natural gas through the City of San Carlos, in the aftermath of a leak repair.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has ordered that PG&E keep the pipeline shut down until CPUC staff can conduct an investigation to verify the safety of the utilities pipeline, in addition to ordering PG&E to submit an updated Safety Certification for line 147 by Oct. 11.
