Over 100 homeowners in the Portuguese Bend of Rancho Palos Verdes had their gas abruptly shut off indefinitely.
There are 135 homes in the Rancho Palos Verdes area where the gas has been turned off and now homeowners are left doing things like buying new electric appliances.Homeowners like Tom Keefer found themselves today buying new electric water heaters and ordering an electric stove and other electric appliances after the natural gas service at his house was shut off at 9 a.m.
Supervisor Janice Hahn was one of a number of officials who attended what she called an all-hands-on-deck meeting to discuss the action. SoCalGas offered to give homeowners $2,500 to help, but to Hahn, that's not enough and she encouraged SoCalGas to do more.She also agreed with homeowners that they were not given enough time to prepare and, according to Hahn, officials got a commitment from all of the utilities to communicate more effectively in the future.
