It is their responsibility, if there is a problem, they are supposed to find the problem and fix it before theres a pipeline failure, not after.

From a customer standpoint this is unacceptable and scary. People are wondering if this stuff underneath my house is it running under my neighborhood . We are entrusting our lives to a big unknown kind of scary. Reporter pg e hopes to pull the pipe out of ground sometime tomorrow and a good look.
