At Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), our top priority is the safety of our customers and their families, our employees and contractors, and the communities we serve. We are constantly making safety and reliability upgrades across our system in order to provide our customers the best service possible.

PG&E and its contractors are currently making safety upgrades in the City of Orinda to replace copper service lines with piping that is more resistant to corrosion and earthquakes. In the City of Orinda, PG&E has already replaced more than 1,200 lines and has approximately 25 more lines to replace.

We expect the work to be complete by the end of August. In the last five years, we have replaced 39,000 copper service lines in Northern and Central California.
