UGI System Upgrades to Begin Next Week in Quakertown Borough and Richland Township

UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Quakertown Borough and Richland Township on Monday, June 22, 2026. The work is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.

The upgrades are designed to enhance the local gas infrastructure, ensuring continued safety and reliability for customers. As part of the project, UGI will replace existing gas mains with new, high-pressure plastic mains, which will improve system performance and reduce the potential for leaks.

Residents and businesses located along the project route may have the opportunity to convert to natural gas for heating, cooking, and other energy needs. Converting to natural gas can offer cost savings and environmental benefits compared to other fuels. UGI will be reaching out to eligible customers with information about the conversion process.

The project is expected to take several weeks to complete, with work occurring during daytime hours. Traffic disruptions may be necessary, and UGI will work to minimize impacts on the community. Customers with questions about the upgrades or natural gas conversion can visit UGI's website at www.ugi.com or contact the company directly.
