UGI Utilities Announces System Upgrades in Bethlehem to Enhance Service Reliability
UGI Utilities is set to commence system upgrades in Bethlehem, aiming to improve service reliability and offering some residents and businesses the opportunity to switch to natural gas.
UGI Utilities has announced plans to start system upgrades in Bethlehem on July 9, as part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring safe and reliable service. This initiative not only aims to replace a gas main but also presents an opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas, potentially offering them a more efficient energy solution.
The upgrade work will affect several streets, including West Graham Place between Brodhead Avenue and Vine Street, Vine Street between West Graham Place and West Morton Street, and Rink Street between Broadhead Avenue and Vine Street. Construction is scheduled from 7am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, with parking restrictions in place during these hours. Residents and businesses should anticipate some interruptions to natural gas service, as UGI will need access to properties to inspect and relight equipment.
The underground work is expected to be completed by early August, though weather and working conditions may cause delays. Final paving and restoration will follow the completion of the underground upgrades. For those interested in converting to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information, though the company emphasizes the importance of the upgrades for the broader community's energy reliability and safety.
UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, continues to invest in infrastructure improvements to meet the growing demands of its service areas. More details about the company and its services can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
