UGI Utilities Initiates Natural Gas Main Replacement in Lancaster

UGI Utilities, Inc. has commenced a significant natural gas main replacement project in Lancaster, marking a pivotal step in its ongoing commitment to ensuring safe and reliable service for its customers. This initiative not only aims to upgrade the existing infrastructure but also presents a unique opportunity for residences and businesses located along the project's path to switch to natural gas, potentially benefiting from its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

The project, set to conclude by the end of September, will primarily affect several key streets in Lancaster, including North Charlotte Street, West Grant Street, West Strawberry Street, East and West Filbert Street, and New Dorwart Street. Construction activities are scheduled from Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm, during which residents and commuters 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 inspection and equipment relighting.

While the project's timeline is subject to change due to weather and working conditions, UGI has outlined a clear plan for the completion of underground work followed by final paving and restoration. For those considering the switch to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information, though the company emphasizes the importance of planning ahead to mitigate any inconveniences caused by the construction.

This infrastructure upgrade underscores UGI Utilities, Inc.'s dedication to modernizing its systems to meet the growing demands of its customer base, which exceeds 760,000 across its service areas. More details about the project and UGI's services can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
