Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 23, December 2, 2024

Section 14:6-3.11 - Analysis and reporting of odor, leak and emergency calls

(a) Each gas utility shall maintain a listed telephone number in appropriate telephone directories designated as a 24-hour number at which leak, odor or emergency calls may be received. These numbers shall be tended by utility personnel in order that such calls can be answered on a 24-hour basis with the assurance that appropriate action will be taken as rapidly as possible.

(b) Each gas utility shall maintain a log that shows the receipt and handling of each leak, odor or emergency report received. Information concerning the time that the report was first received, that utility personnel were first dispatched to the scene, that such personnel arrived, and that the condition was considered safe should be included.

(c) Each gas utility shall analyze its performance in responding to the reports required under this section. Both the logs and the analysis shall be made available to the Board upon request. Summary reports shall be furnished to the Board quarterly in the form specified by the Board.

(d) The quarterly submittal required under this section shall include information for both normal working hours and other than normal working hours, sorted by each operating division or district in the gas utility. If the utility failed to respond within 60 minutes to any call regarding an odor or leak, the submittal shall separately list each such call, the time between the utility receiving the call and the arrival on the scene of operator-qualified personnel; along with the date, address and actual time the call was received and responded to.
