UGI Begins Natural Gas Main Replacement in Berwick, Offering Conversion Opportunities

UGI Utilities is set to begin a system upgrade project in Berwick on Monday, August 17, 2026. The project involves replacing natural gas mains as part of UGI's ongoing commitment to deliver safe and reliable service. This upgrade also presents an opportunity for some residents and businesses in the area to convert to natural gas, potentially expanding access to this energy source.

The announcement, made on August 13, 2026, highlights UGI's proactive approach to infrastructure maintenance. By replacing aging pipelines, UGI aims to reduce the risk of leaks and improve overall system performance. This is a critical step in ensuring that customers continue to receive dependable natural gas service, which is essential for heating and other applications.

The project will likely involve temporary disruptions, such as road closures or service interruptions, but UGI will work to minimize inconvenience to the community. Residents and businesses in the affected areas may be contacted by UGI representatives to provide more details about the timeline and any necessary actions.

For those eligible, converting to natural gas could offer a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy option compared to other fuels. Natural gas is known for its efficiency and lower emissions, making it an attractive choice for many consumers. The conversion process typically involves connecting to the new main and installing necessary equipment, which may be offered at a reduced cost or with incentives.

UGI Utilities, Inc. is a natural gas and electric utility serving more than 760,000 customers.
