BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: Section 1. Section 9 (e) of Ordinance No. 7466 is hereby amended to read as follows: "Customer service pipe shall be not less than one —inch pipe when the Utility supplying gas requires the use of a Service Regulator. When no Service Regulator is required by the Utility, pipe shall be not less than 14 inch in size. When gas requirements for the structure include boilers or other equipment requiring large quantities of gas, size of pipe shall be increased to 2 inch pipe or larger, if required by the supplier of gas." Section 2. Whereas, at present the ordinance hereby amended requires the use of 1*1 inch pipe for all customers' service lines, and whereas, there is an acute shortage of this size pipe for such purposes, which is delaying the completion of buildings now under construction or contemplated; and whereas it has been ascertained that one —inch pipe, which is more available for such usage, is an equally satisfactory minimum size pipe for customers' service pipes when supplied from gas utility lines requiring the use of a service regulator, NOW, THEREFORE, for the public peace, health and general benefit to the residents of the City of Little Rock, it is necessary that this Ordinance take effect immediately upon its passage and an emergency is hereby declared and this Ordinance shall become effective upon its passage and approval.
