On the upside, shit won't squeak or rust for a good while.

Pocket gophers also won't be an issue.

Nah they'll have grass it just won't be in that neighborhood.

also in the still pic there looks like what could be a water well which may prove problematic.

Are you really shocked there aren't?

And what regulation not on the books all ready would have prevented a pipe from breaking?

I don't think anyone in these forums thinks that a regulation against pipes breaking makes any sense at all.

Perhaps he was wondering about regulations that affect where you can zone and build residential property.

Maybe he was wondering about regulations regarding what companies who own and operate pipes are required to have in-place if (ie: when) their pipes do break. It's not uncommon to require things like response plans or mitigation infrastructure.

Next time you're out for a drive just take a look along the roadsides and see if you can find where there aren't pipelines.

While we're at it we can stop buiding in or around flood zones, beaches, mountains, volcanos, rivers, and sink holes. Did i miss anything?

I know there are pipelines. Where I grew up, everyone had natural gas service in the home. Pipes are what make that happen. Of course they're everywhere.

Pipes that carry crude are less common, and they're also bigger. No one that I know gets crude as a residential service.

Also, I wasn't saying that pipes were common or uncommon. triggerhappy2005 wondered about regulations that would have prevented this. Some people were assuming that he meant a regulation against pipes breaking. I was offering alternative interpretations.

We take notice of hazards. Society has many different ways that they go about recognizing the potential for trouble and trying to stay one step ahead of it. Is it so hard to imagine that someone who runs an oil pipeline through a residential neighborhood might get a call from the municipality asking about contingency plans?

I know numerous people in petroleum business and they all have contingency plans it's a matter of how quickly those plans can be implemented. Here's an example of cause and effect this happened in Brenham and we felt it in Houston. Login to access the Oil & Gas Journal Subscriber Premium features.
