SoCalGas has decided to cut off natural gas service to nearly 130 homes in the Portuguese Bend community in Rancho Palos Verdes due to the threat presented by continuing land movement in the area.
SoCalGas announced their plans to cut off natural gas service to the Portuguese Bend community of Rancho Palos Verdes starting early next week.The discontinuation is slated for Monday at 9 a.m., leaving nearly 130 homes in the area without the common utility. 'Due to worsening land movement, SoCalGas has determined it is unsafe to continue providing natural gas service in your community,' said a statement from the company released on Saturday.
In the time since, several homes and roads have been destroyed or red-tagged by building safety officials, including the famous Wayfarers Chapel, or Glass Church.The ever-changing situation received an emergency declaration from Gov. Gavin Newsom in early 2024. SoCalGas officials say that the closure could go into effect even earlier if the situation undergoes a dramatic change.
