It would be helpful to know the age of the pipeline and what classification spec was used when it was installed. We are having a problem here in the Kingdom with classifications. Meaning we have pipelines that were installed to one spec (lower wall thickness) and then people moved into the area and that wall thickness is no longer considered safe.
If your house is as old or older than the pipeline, then no worries. Typically, pipelines nowadays are equipped with leak detection, cathodic protection, fusion bond epoxy external coating etc. Very safe. It's cheaper in the long run to make it safe rather than clean up a mess with their associated lawsuit payouts.
