Washington Gas Files Reply Comments Reiterating Why Draft “Project Pipes” Rules Should Not be Adopted
On March 17, 2026 WGL filed reply comments on Commissioner Beverly’s proposed Project Pipes alternative.
“Before delving into specific sections of the Draft Rules raised by the District of Columbia Government (“DCG”) and U.S. PIRG Education Fund (“PIRG”), Washington Gas first addresses how DCG ignores (1) the substantial new costs the Draft Rules would impose on D.C. ratepayers without any clear public safety benefits; and (2) how the Draft Rules conflict with Washington Gas’s obligations under federal PHMSA regulations. For all the reasons expressed in the Company’s Initial Comments and in these Reply Comments, Washington Gas once again urges the Commission not to proceed with the Draft Rules.”
