My OperaMore on Gas

I talked with Ed and Richard at the corner of Tenth and M Saturday morning. We were watching the cleanup of an accident in which a nice black Mercedes was totalled by a DC cab. T-Boned, actually. Don't know if anyone in the Mercedes was hrt, and it may have been parked.
Anyway, Ed commented that he had called Washington Gas to ask about the possible work on upgrading the gas lines on the block. And believe me, if anyone knows which phone numbers to use, it's ED. He hasn't received an answer.
He did comment that several people on the block couldn't install high-end electrical applicances because the gas pressure was too low. He said that when the gas company tried to increase pressure a while back, the pipes under the 900 clock of M Street leaked so badly that you could smell gas on the block. So the gas pressure stays low until that gets fixed. And that means tearing up the street.
The upscaling is not yet complete.
