UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas System Upgrades in Coplay

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the commencement of two significant natural gas main replacement projects in Coplay, marking a pivotal step in the company's ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and reliability of its services. These projects not only aim to upgrade the existing infrastructure but also present a unique opportunity for residences and businesses along the project routes to switch to natural gas, potentially leading to energy efficiency improvements and cost savings.

The first project is slated to start on August 4, with completion expected by early September. This phase will affect travel on Pembroke Road between Wood Street and Stefko Boulevard, Arcadia Street between Pembroke Road and Minsi Trail Street, and Minsi Trail Street between Arcadia Street and East Washington Avenue. The second project, beginning on August 11 and aiming for completion by the end of September, will impact Coplay Street between South Ninth Street and South Eighth Street, South Eighth Street between Coplay Street and Hokendauqua Street, and Hokendauqua Street between South Eighth Street and South Sixth Street.

Construction activities are scheduled from Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm, during which drivers, residents, and business owners should anticipate road closures, detours, and possible traffic delays. Parking restrictions will be in place on the affected streets, and interruptions to natural gas service are expected, necessitating UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting.

While weather and working conditions may influence the projects' timelines, UGI has outlined that final paving and restoration will follow the completion of underground work. For those considering a switch to natural gas, UGI provides a dedicated contact point, though the company emphasizes the importance of planning ahead to minimize inconvenience during the transition period.

UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, continues to underscore its commitment to infrastructure improvement and customer service excellence. Further details about the projects and UGI's services can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
