All single residence customers who request a natural gas service that requires the installation of a new or replacement service line will have an excess flow valve installed as part of the new or replacement service line at no cost to the customer.
An excess flow valve is a device designed to shut off the flow of natural gas automatically in the event the gas service line is broken.
WTPUD is required to inform our customers that excess flow valves meeting the minimum U.S. Dept. of Transportation standards are available and if you, the customer, are willing to pay the cost associated with the installation, maintenance, and replacement of the valve, WTPUD will install an excess flow valve in your existing natural gas service line.
IT IS NOT MANDATORY TO HAVE AN EXCESS FLOW VALVE INSTALLED IN EXISTING SERVICE LINES.
If you are interested in having an excess flow valve in your existing natural gas service line, please contact us for more information. The current price to install an excess flow valve into your existing service line is $600.00. Also, note that this installation requires excavation in your yard.
