UGI System Upgrades to Enhance Quakertown's Natural Gas Infrastructure

UGI Utilities, Inc. is set to commence a natural gas main replacement project in Quakertown on August 1, 2025, as part of its ongoing efforts to ensure safe and reliable service. This initiative not only aims to upgrade the existing infrastructure but also provides an opportunity for residences and businesses along the project's path to switch to natural gas. The project, expected to conclude by mid-September, will primarily affect Rich Hill Road between Whaland Road and Masi Drive, leading to potential road closures, detours, and traffic delays during construction hours from Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm.

During the construction period, parking restrictions will be in place on the affected streets, and interruptions to natural gas service are anticipated, necessitating UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting. The completion timeline may vary depending on weather and working conditions, with final paving and restoration scheduled after the underground work is finished. For those considering a switch to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information, though the project underscores the company's commitment to modernizing Quakertown's gas infrastructure to better serve the community.
