They fear a gas pipeline in san carlos could rupture like the one a few years ago in san bruno. Today pg e reopened the san carlos pipeline at maximum pressure. Nbc bay areas Monty Francis joins us in san carlos with reaction from all sides involved. Reporter raj, that line is known as 147. It runs underneath britton avenue here. This is a residential neighborhood. Pg e says the line was tested two years ago and it is safe, but many people who live here still have their doubts. This is a sad Christmas Present for san carlos. Reporter san carlos mayor says he was not surprised, but very disappointed, that the California PublicUtilities Commission today voted 50 to allow line 147 to operate at its maximum allowable pressure of 330 pounds per square inch. The line, which runs along britton avenue between highway 101 and i280 has been operating at a lower pressure recently after an engineer expressed concerns there could be the another, quote, san bruno situation.

I dont think anybody really has their arms around what the truth is. Reporter Christian Rhodes lives with his wife and children on britton avenue.

And in an investigation in the wake of that disaster, found pg es flawed recordkeeping contributed to the accident. Today the puc issued 14. 3 million fine to pg e for not keeping the commission properly informed about flawed records concerning the line in san carlos. A spokesperson for the utility called the fine excessive. Were working to rebuild trust since the accident in san bruno in 2010 and have a lot of work to do especially around the issue in san carlos. Reporter san carlos mayor says the city is considering legal action to keep that line from resuming maximum pressure. In the meantime, the utility says it wants to return to maximum pressure as soon as possible but wont make that move until City Residents and city leaders are informed of that change.
