Incident Narrative
ON DECEMBER 30, 2013 A THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR BORED INTO 10"" DISTRIBUTION MAIN. THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR FATALITIES, AND OUR ORIGINAL ESTIMATES OF PROPERTY DAMAGE AND LOSS GAS VOLUME DID NOT MEET THE REPORTABLE THRESHOLD. HOWEVER, ON JANUARY 2, 2014 LOSS OF GAS CALCULATIONS WERE REVISED TO INCLUDE A LARGER HOLE AND LONGER DURATION. THE NEW CALCULATIONS REVEALED THAT THE REPORTABLE CRITERIA FOR LOSS OF GAS HAD BEEN MET. SUPPLEMENTAL/FINAL HAS THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE ORIGINAL.
