Summit Natural Gas of Maine has agreed to check pipeline joints that utility regulators found may have been improperly fused during the company’s expansion last year primarily in the Kennebec Valley area.
The Bangor Daily News reported that the natural gas company based in Augusta also agreed to withdraw its request to the Maine Public Utilities Commission to increase rates to include certain advertising expenses and administrative costs. The Office of the Public Advocate opposed the request, saying ratepayers shouldn’t have to pay for the company’s early advertising or “educational marketing,” the BDN reported.
The plan to check the pipeline joints will require Summit to excavate, inspect and test all of the pipeline connections completed by three contractors during Summit’s expansion projects in the Kennebec Valley as well as Yarmouth, Cumberland and Falmouth in 2014.
It requires the company to complete the work by Dec. 31 and to perform regular surveys to check for gas leaks.
