LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles residents displaced by a massive, 15-week natural gas leak will have more time to return to their homes once the well is plugged, under an agreement announced Monday between city officials and Southern California Gas Co. The deal will give residents up to eight days to move back to the Porter Ranch area, rather than 48 hours, the utility and City Attorney Mike Feuer said in separate statements. "This agreement will help residents resume their daily routines on schedules that work best for them," Feuer said. The leak from a deep well at an underground gas storage facility was detected in October. The utility said Monday that a relief well designed to intercept the leaking one has now reached a depth of about 8,600 feet and is within 20 feet of its target, though as drillers get closer they'll need to slow down for precision, spokesman Chris Gilbride said in a statement.Read more on NewsOK.com
