SEISMIC GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE |
L. A. ORDINANCE 174343 |
Effective February 02, 2002:
In
recognition of the ordinance’s important public safety purpose, the City of
Los Angeles, has amended section 94.1219.2.3 of the Los Angeles Municipal
Code by deleting the phrase “within 12 months of sale” and inserting
in it’s place “prior to entering into an agreement of sale, or prior to
the close of escrow when an escrow agreement has been executed in connection
with the sale.” This new ordinance (No. 174343) requiring Seismic Gas
Shut-Off valves be installed “prior to the close of escrow” was
adopted on November 7, 2001 and will become effective February 02, 2002.
Effective February 11, 2002:
The
Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has authorized Southern California Gas Co.
to discontinue ALL installation of automatic Earthquake Gas Shut-Off Valves
(EQV’s) on its side of the meter, whether performed by SoCalGas or by
others. As of February 11, 2002, this will require all EQV’s be installed on
the property owners side of the meter, a city permit will be required for
each installation and the gas supply will be disrupted during installation.
The new guidelines will result in a slight price increase for standard
installations, rising from $249 to $299. But the magnitude of these changes
will be felt by owners of condominiums and multi-family dwellings. On or
before February 10, 2002, we are able to install one EQV on the utility side
for each bank of meters. After February 10, 2002,
a separate valve must be installed for each meter dramatically increasing
the price. |
