Rosan\nSenior Vice President\nColumbia Gas System Service Corp\n20 Montchanin Road\nWilmington, Delaware 19807\nDear Mr. Rosan:\nThank you for your letter of October 23, 1971, concerning application of Section 192.723 to leak surveys on\ncustomer service lines between the curb box and the customer meter.\nSection 192.3, 49 CFR, of the new minimum Federal safety standards defines a service line as a distribution\nline that transports gas to a customer meter set assembly from a common source of supply. It is our\ncontention that under this regulation the burden is on the operator to ascertain the safe condition of the\ncustomer service lines to which gas is delivered.\nIf we can be of any further assistance, do not hesitate to ask.\nSincerely,\nJoseph C. Caldwell\nActing Director\nOffice of Pipeline Safety","truncated":false,"body_characters":856}
