Three questions:
What was the price difference between installing 4″ pipe versus 2″ pipe?
The labor is the same, the only cost difference is the pipe and fittings.
Seems the City is short changing themselves and being short sighted.
2nd: how much gas $$ does the City figure they have paid for and lost via the leaking pipe ? The gas was/is not free to the City, they had to pay for it even if it leaked away.
3rd: plastic or steel pipe ?

I would think costs were envolved. Would people be willing to pony up with higher taxes to foot the expense. I’m thinking not in century. It was probably done in the right way. Wish it had been done sooner; but thats what elect those folks for.

Gas leaks for years and its just a part of life. It seems that there are more important things than peoples life’s.

It seems strange that the city council. and mayor worries about animals in the city but allows a gas leak, that can be deadly, to go on for years. Someone needs to get their priorities in order.
