businesses and homes from shoreline creek to the middle school. pg&e is still not sure who will pay for this testing. which is expected to cost around $100 million -- $00 billion. before the water testing next week, pg&e has to reduce gas from that line. mountain view and antioch are first cities to have their gas lines pressure tested in a round of testing following an explosion last fall. 150 lines of pipeline will be tested. those concerned should call pg&e with the number -- with any concerns. the number is on your screen. pg&e said pressure testing will begin next week. reporting live from mountain view, jade hernandez. >> thank you, jade.
