Sec. 14-13. Customer responsibility for stopping leaks.

Gas apparatus and premises of consumers shall be examined
free of charge, on receiving notice of any suspected leak. If
the gas superintendent or his representative determines that a
gas leak on customer premises is a safety hazard, he may
terminate service immediately or may require that the leak be
repaired within a reasonable length of time; and if such repairs
are not completed within the specified time period, he may terminate
service until such repairs are completed.

For purposes of this section leaks occurring downstream from
the meter shall be considered to be on customer premises. (Code
1959, § 14-13; 3-17-75, § 1.)
