UGI System Upgrades Set to Begin in Pittston

UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Pittston on Monday, August 17, 2026. The natural gas main replacement is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for some residents and businesses to convert to natural gas.

The upgrade project underscores UGI's ongoing investment in infrastructure to ensure the continued safety and reliability of natural gas delivery to its customers. By replacing aging mains, UGI aims to reduce the risk of leaks and improve overall system performance. This proactive approach is critical for maintaining the integrity of the utility network and meeting the energy needs of the community.

For residents and businesses in the affected areas, this project presents an opportunity to convert to natural gas. Natural gas is a clean-burning and efficient energy source, and converting can offer cost savings and environmental benefits. As UGI replaces the mains, it will be easier for properties along the construction path to connect to the gas network, potentially expanding access to this energy option.

UGI Utilities, Inc. is a natural gas and electric utility company that serves more than 760,000 customers. The company is dedicated to delivering energy safely and reliably, and this project is an example of that commitment. Customers can find additional information about UGI Utilities, Inc. at www.ugi.com.

Construction is expected to bring some temporary disruptions, but UGI will work to minimize impacts on traffic and daily activities. Residents and businesses in the area are advised to be aware of ongoing work and to follow any posted signage or instructions. The replacement of natural gas mains is a routine but essential part of maintaining a modern and resilient energy infrastructure.

This project also highlights the importance of utility upgrades in supporting local communities. Reliable energy infrastructure is foundational for economic development and public safety. By investing in these upgrades, UGI is not only improving service for its current customers but also laying the groundwork for future growth and sustainability.

As the work progresses, UGI will keep the community informed about any changes or updates. The company encourages customers with questions or concerns to reach out through the contact information provided on their official channels.
