On June 29, 2021, the County Council approved bill 50-20, Landlord-Tenant Relations - Fire Safety - Removal of Mercury Service Regulators. The bill requires multifamily landlords of properties built prior to January 1, 1968 to take certain steps to facilitate the replacement of indoor mercury service gas regulators and notify tenants and DHCA when Washington Gas replaces the regulators. Affected multifamily landlords are being notified of bill requirements.
Mercury service regulators regulate the flow of natural gas into a building.
Persons with questions about mercury service regulators should be instructed to call Washington Gas at 1-844-WASHGAS.(1-844-927-4427)
