Quake Safety Proposal: Southern California Gas Co. said it plans to offer a quake safety program that would provide an earthquake-activated valve to shut off gas at the meter. If approved by the state Public Utilities Commission, the program would start on a trial basis in selected areas later this year. If successful, it could be offered in all service areas in 1996. Under the program, customers would pay a one-time activation charge and a monthly fee for a two-year subscription. The program would include a safety kit enabling customers to restore their own service, a once-a-year free restoration of service if the valve is activated and an annual maintenance check.
