PG&E discovered the small leaks during an inspection the state required of gas storage operators after the massive leak discovered in October from Southern California Gas' (SoCalGas) Aliso Canyon storage facility in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. That leak, the state's largest ever, was not plugged until February and area homeowners had to relocate.
The PG&E unit said it has enough gas in storage elsewhere to meet customer needs while McDonald is closed and hopes to resume withdrawals and injections at the underground field by September, according to local media reports.
