I agree, it does seem to be unnecessary to mention the utility that owned the pipe in this case since they didn’t cause the accident. It’s fair to mention them in the body of the article, though, since it was only PG&E customers served by that particular pipe who were affected by the outages. Edit: now that I reread the original article title, I think it sounds much better than the current HN title.
