What's that smell? PG&E to begin testing work this week: For the past month, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. work crews have been preparing for hydrostatic pressure testing of a segment of what is known as line 132, one of two high-pressure gas pipelines that run through Stanford land for more than a mile. As part of the testing process, the utility company will vent gas from that pipeline segment so that it can be filled with water. That process will begin Tuesday, Oct. 11. Residents may smell gas during this process and at other points during testing work. There also may be noise associated with testing activities. According to the utility company, these odors and noises are expected and safe. Read the full announcement for more information.
