The Southwest Gas LDC issued a Hold Burn to Scheduled Quantities notice effective Wednesday until further notice due to low linepack on Kern River and drafting of Southwest’s system.

Kern River confirmed that its linepack has decreased significantly and requested that all parties refrain from drafting. Additionally, the pipeline encouraged parties who owe it imbalance gas to arrange payback arrangements.

Pacific Gas and Electric did not extend a low-inventory OFO beyond Wednesday.
