CITY OF AT.LANTA OFFICE OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS 800 CITY HALL Atlanta, Georgia 30303 WILLIAM R. WOFFORD, P.E., R.A. February 19, 1969 IN SP ECTOR OF BUILDINGS ELMER H, MOON, E.E., P . E. ASST. INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS MEMORANDUM TO FROM The Honor:~:;_I1'n Allen, Jr. W.R. W o f ~ RE Letter from Fulton Plumbing Company • With reference to Mr. Crissey's letter of February 14, 1969, concerning a recently adopted ordinance regulating gas piping and related appliances I believe that Mr. Crissey and probably some of our inspectors have misinterpreted the ordinance. The ordinance does not require that existing appliances be disconnected in order to test heretofore installed gas lines in buildings, but the ordinance does require that any new gas line installed be tested and approved before it is used. Our Plumbing and Heating Division Chiefs are aware of this problem and have instructed all inspectors in the proper interpretation of the ordinance so that pressure tests on existing gas lines will not be required. �
