An ongoing land movement crisis in Rancho Palos Verdes is leaving residents scrambling for gas as they face a planned shutoff.
The shutoff would impact more than 130 homes in the Portuguese Bend community. Residents facing the gas shutoffs will get $2,500 from SoCalGas, but homeowners argued it was far from enough."I'm going to have to get a couple of new hot water heaters and I'm going to have to figure out a new heating system," said Bill Hunter, a homeowner, told FOX 11 earlier in the week."We did the math.
If I needed to replace all the gas appliances in the house it's $20,000," homeowner Tom Keefer told FOX 11 earlier in the week.Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn agreed. She said during a meeting earlier in the week that she is encouraging SoCalGas to provide more help for the residents facing gas shutoffs.
