The Maine Public Utilities Commission is blaming Unitil for the gas line- John C.L. Morgan
ruptured in downtown Westbrook Monday during highway reconstruction. "The
line had not been marked by the utility," said Evelyn deFrees, a spokeswoman for
the commission. "It's a pretty clear-cut case." A natural gas supplier, Unitil
was once known locally as Northern Utilities. Investigation of the incident is
continuing and penalties range can from $500 to $5,000 per violation, according
to deFrees. No one from Unitil could be reached for comment by American Journal
deadline Wednesday.
