UGI Natural Gas System Upgrades in Macungie Create Conversion Opportunities

UGI Utilities, Inc. has initiated a natural gas main replacement project in Macungie as part of the company's ongoing commitment to maintaining safe and reliable service infrastructure. The system upgrades present a significant opportunity for residential and commercial properties located along the project route to convert to natural gas service, potentially offering energy cost savings and improved efficiency for eligible customers.

The underground construction work will focus on several key areas including South Church Street and Mountain Road between East Main Street and Lorene Drive, the intersection of East Main Street and South Church Street, Locust Street between South Church Street and Pine Street, and Cedar Street between South Church Street and Spring Street. Construction activities are scheduled to occur Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm, with completion of the new natural gas main installation expected by the end of December.

Local residents and business owners should anticipate temporary disruptions including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions throughout the project duration. The work will also necessitate some interruptions to natural gas service, requiring UGI personnel to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. Temporary restoration of affected areas will commence immediately following completion of the underground work, with final paving operations scheduled for a later date.

This infrastructure improvement project represents UGI's continued investment in modernizing energy delivery systems while expanding access to natural gas service.
