UGI Utilities Announces Lancaster Natural Gas System Upgrade Project

UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrade project in Lancaster on Monday, November 10th as part of the company's commitment to provide safe and reliable service. The natural gas main replacement project will impact several key streets throughout the city and is expected to continue through mid-January. This infrastructure improvement represents UGI's ongoing investment in modernizing its natural gas distribution network to ensure continued service reliability for customers.

The construction work will affect West Mifflin Street between South Mulberry Street and South Water Street, Hoffman Terrace, South Water Street between West King Street and West Mifflin Street, and West Grant Street between North Arch Street and North Water Street. Construction activities are scheduled Monday through Friday between 7:00am and 5:00pm, during which time drivers, residents, and business owners should anticipate lane and parking restrictions throughout the project areas.

During the construction period, there will be some interruptions to natural gas service that will require UGI technicians to access properties to inspect and relight equipment. The company emphasizes that these temporary service disruptions are necessary to complete the system upgrades safely and efficiently. Weather conditions and working circumstances may affect the project timeline, with final paving and restoration work scheduled to occur after the underground construction is complete.
