UGI Utilities Launches Natural Gas Infrastructure Upgrade in Catasauqua, Offering Conversion Opportunities
UGI Utilities is commencing a natural gas main replacement project in Catasauqua, enhancing service reliability while providing conversion opportunities for local homes and businesses.
UGI Utilities, Inc. will begin a natural gas main replacement project in Catasauqua on September 15, 2025, as part of the company's ongoing commitment to infrastructure safety and reliability. The project represents a significant investment in local energy infrastructure that will benefit both current natural gas customers and potential new users in the community.
The construction work will focus on Race Street between 2nd Street and 15th Street and North 12th Street, with operations scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm. This infrastructure upgrade creates a unique opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service, potentially offering energy cost savings and improved efficiency for local residents and commercial establishments.
During the construction period, the community should anticipate temporary disruptions including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions. Some natural gas service interruptions will occur, requiring UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. The new natural gas main installation is projected for completion by the end of November, though weather conditions and working factors may affect this timeline.
Final paving and restoration work will follow the main installation phase. UGI Utilities serves more than 760,000 customers across its service territory and maintains comprehensive information about its operations and services available at https://www.ugi.com. The Catasauqua project demonstrates the utility's continued investment in modernizing energy delivery systems while expanding access to natural gas service in Pennsylvania communities.
