TEXAS, ON JUNE 3 , 19 67 AND BEING PARTLY STYLED,
"AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO LONE STAR GAS COMPANY, A CORPORATION, ITS
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, A FRANCHISE TO FURNISH AND SUPPLY GAS TO THE
GENERAL PUBLIC IN THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE 4 , TARRANT ,
TEXAS"; AND PROVIDING FOR A MODIFICATION OF THE DEFINITION OF THE TERMS
"SERVICE LINES" AND "YARD LINES" REFERENCED IN SECTION 4 THEREOF.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF WESTLAKE, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. As of the effective date of this amendatory ordinance,
and upon acceptance by Lone Star Gas Company of the provisions hereof,
Section 4 of the aforesaid captioned franchise ordinance enacted
on June 3 , 19 67 , shall be stricken, cancelled and nullified
and there shall be substituted in lieu thereof a new provision reading as
follows:
"SECTION 4 , In addition to the rates charged for gas
supplied, Company may make and enforce reasonable charges,
rules and regulations for service rendered in the conduct
of its business including a charge for services rendered
in the inauguration of natural gas service, and may require,
before furnishing service, the execution of a contract there-
for. Company shall have the right to contract with each
customer with reference to the installation of, and payment
for, any and all of the gas piping from the connection there-
of with the Company's main in the streets or alleys to and
throughout the consumer's premises. Company shall own,
operate and maintain all service lines, which are defined
as the supply lines extending from the Company's main to
the customer's meter 'where gas is measured by Company. The
consumer shall own, operate, and maintain all yard lines and
house piping. Yard lines are defined as the underground supply
lines extending from the point of connection with Company's
customer meter to the point of connection with consumer's
house piping."
SECTION 2. Enactment of this amendatory ordinance shall in no way
ever be construed so as to diminish or impair any consumer's ownership
interest in service lines (or portions thereof) installed prior to the
effective date of this amendatory ordinance.
SECTION 3. The terms and provisions of this amendatory ordinance

The Honorable Mayor Dale White and City Council
City of Westlake, Texas
Gentlemen:
July 1, 1981
In response to State and Federal regulation of natural gas pipeline safety,
Lone Star Gas Company has re-evaluated its practice relating to installation
and maintenance of service lines. In order to fully meet the Company's
responsibility for gas service from its main line to the point of delivery
for each customer, it is necessary to define the terms "service line" and
yard line" in our existing franchise agreement with the City of Westlake.
The proposed franchise amendment will allow Lone Star Gas Company to contract
with our customers for installation and maintenance of "service lines" which
are defined as all of the gas piping from the connection with the Company's
main up to the meter where gas consumption is measured.
Each customer will be responsible for installation and maintenance of his
yard line. A "yard line" is defined as .an underground supply line extending
from the point of connection with a customer's meter to the point of connection
with that customer's house piping.
In addition to allowing Lone Star Gas Company to comply with regulatory law,
this new policy will offer the advantages of:
1. Quick response with repair of leaks after they are detected on a service
line;
2. Minimum periods of disrupted service for customers while service lines
are being repaired;
3. Allowing efficient use of labor and materials to effect repairs or
to provide new installations; and,
4. Increased safety for customers by assuring service line installation
according to local, State and Federal standards.
Although this new service line policy will place additional responsibility upon
Lone Star Gas Company, we believe the overall efficiency and improved safety
of operation provide ample justification for compliance with regulatory requirements.

(2) Making a specimen joint from pipe section joined

Material
Wrapped steel meter riser pipe that would be connected to
polyethylene pipe and fitting conforming to ASTM D2513 & ASTM
D2517 and required to be put under Cathodic Protection by installing
anode to metal riser.
A mechanical compression coupling with an approved insert
stiffner of proper size must be used to connect the steel meter
riser to the polyethylene service line.
Polyethylene pipe can be jointed with a compression type
fitting that doesn't require cathodic protection. One approved
type through 2" is the AMP fitting.
Non -corrodible meter service riser requires a support post
and connecting clamp.
It can be connected by the AMP fitting, heat fusion,
or mechanical compression couplings with cathodic protection.
Alternate to compressing fitting is purchasing non -corrodible
meter service riser with the correct length of polyethylene heat
fused by a qualified person.
Installation of Polyethylene Pipe
(1) Installed on undisturbed or well compacted soil.
(2) its full length will bare on the bottom of the ditch
with no part of pipe spanning any portion of the ditch
