Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer announced Monday that he has filed a lawsuit against the Southern California Gas Co. over the natural gas leak that has been going on since October at its facility near Porter Ranch, the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

During a press conference, Feuer said no other neighborhoods should have to face what the residents of Porter Ranch have endured, including possible health risks. More than 200 families have had to temporarily relocate.

The city is seeking civil penalties as a result of the leak which is releasing 100,000 pounds of methane every hour, according to the lawsuit.
