Survivors of major fires last year said the measure will give them more leverage to get compensation from pg e, despite the fact the company is in bankruptcy.

Ktvus tom baker spent the morning with east bay mud who is doing highest relations on the hayward fault. This usgs simulation, based on the best science says this is what happens if a 7. 2 quake strikes east bay mud water system. Reporter w the ground shift 3 to 5 feet, ripping through pipes and wires pick some east bay wet residents lose water to 6 weeks and up to 6 months. Reporter to prevent that, east bay mud is busy at work on a project here on the top of the hebron fault in the Berkeley Hills where they will replace a centuryold 3000 foot long pipeline. The current pipeline has averaged a major break each year for the last 30 years with increasing regularity. As the land here has continued to shake and shift. Nick it is the next generation of hazard resilient material. It is pipe that can move back and forth within the joint and can actually deflect off them so it can bend to the right, left, up and down a certain number of degrees so as the land shifts, as an earthquake comes and shakes the ground, the pipe is going to move with the land. Reporter this superstrong, super flexible system with an expected 150 year lifespan is virtually impervious to corrosion. The main reason pipes fail in the east bays corrosive soils. It is able to shift more, bend more than the old cast iron. It is not as brittle. Reporter the pipes were made in union city out of recycled specialized metals. Each pipe joint can expand or contract 3 inches but tied together with many other links of pipe, the system can expand and contract for yards, more than even the mighty hayward fault should displace. Two more major pipe replacement projects are in the planning stage along with other, less demanding once. This year, we reached a record goal in replacing 17. 6 miles of pipe. Reporter a good jump chunk of a recent rate hike will improve it. That will allow us to ramp up to 20 miles of replacements per year and that ensures a more reliable system. Reporter if the hayward fault should rupture to its full potential, there is no way that we are going to avoid massive damage. But the more infrastructure that holds together or needs less repairs, the quicker the recovery and that could be measured in months and not years. Tom vacar, ktvu.
