3.5.2.1 Pre-Laid Services with Retaining Walls
With the introduction of retaining walls into subdivisions (refer to Figure 5 for a typical view),
gas services have been catered for in a variety of methods.
PLSS method has the gas service installed beneath the retaining wall stairs, terminating
at top of stairs. Refer to Figure 6 and Section 4.1.3 for details.
PLS alignment. Refer to Section 4.1.2 for details.
The Responsible Person should determine the PLS or PLSS location on the lot being
developed when determining the gas meter box position for a new dwelling.
AGA will only connect to the PLS or PLSS (if installed) located inside the lot boundary as per
the PLS or PLSS design which was installed to that lot at development stage.
The Responsible Person must ascertain the PLS or PLSS location and ensure accessibility for
gas service pipe installation to the gas meter box position.
If a gas meter box is located in a position which may become inaccessible, then AGA will
not approve the connection.
