UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas Main Replacement Project in Easton

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the commencement of a natural gas main replacement project in Easton, starting Wednesday, August 6. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project not only aims to upgrade the existing infrastructure but also presents an opportunity for residences and businesses along the project's path to switch to natural gas, potentially benefiting from its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

The construction, expected to conclude by mid-October, will primarily affect North 13th Street between Bushkill Drive and Wood Avenue. Operating hours are set from 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, during which locals should anticipate road closures, detours, and possible traffic delays. Parking restrictions on the affected streets and temporary interruptions to natural gas service are also expected, necessitating UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting.

While the underground work is projected to finish by mid-October, final paving and restoration will follow at a later date, contingent upon weather and working conditions. UGI has extended an invitation to those interested in converting to natural gas, directing inquiries to their contact channels.

This project represents a significant step forward in modernizing Easton's natural gas infrastructure, promising enhanced service reliability for the community and environmental benefits through the adoption of cleaner energy sources. The temporary inconveniences caused by the construction are outweighed by the long-term advantages of a more efficient and safer natural gas system.
