My neighbor just found out the hard way. They neglected to call the utility hotline before they dug, and found what they thought was a 2 inch dead gas line. So they decided to get their sawzall and cut the pipe away. It turned out to be a 6 inch high pressure live main gas line. By the grace of God, there was not an explosion, when the cut into this line, but you could hear the gas escaping a block away. I was up there when the gas company went in to check the house for gas, and he came running out and said the whole house was filled with gas. Needless to say I took off. but what i found out later, is that not only will he be fined, he will also have to pay for the repairs, the man hours for the gas company, and Fire department equipment and personnel. i am told it could be close to $100,000.00. All for not calling a simple number to have under ground lines located for free.
