MEMORANDUM =‘TO : The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
FROM : W. R. Wofford
RE : Letter from Fulton Plumbing Company

With reference to Mr. Crissey's letter of February 14, 1969,
concerning a recently adopted ordinance regulating gas piping and
related appliances I believe that Mr. Crissey and probably some of
our inspectors have misinterpreted the ordinance.

The ordinance does not require that existing appliances be
disconnected in order to test heretofore installed gas lines in
buildings, but the ordinance does require that any new gas line
installed be tested and approved before it is used.

Our Plumbing and Heating Division Chiefs are aware of this
problem and have instructed all inspectors in the proper inter-
pretation of the ordinance so that pressure tests on existing
gas lines will not be required.
