UGI Utilities Announces Major Gas System Upgrades in Carlisle

UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Carlisle on Monday, November 10th, marking a significant infrastructure improvement project for the community. The gas main replacement project represents UGI's ongoing commitment to providing safe and reliable service to residents and businesses throughout the region. This extensive work will also create opportunities for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service, potentially offering economic and environmental benefits to property owners.

The upgrades will occur in sections and are expected to extend into the Spring season, with construction temporarily halting during the weeks of December 22 and December 29 before resuming on January 5. Multiple roads will be impacted by the construction activities, including C Street between Cherry Street and North College Street, Franklin Street between H Street and C Street, D Street between Redwood Drive and Oak Street, E Street between Franklin Street and North College Street, F Street between Redwood Drive and Ash Avenue, and G Street between Franklin Street and Ash Avenue. Construction operations are scheduled Monday through Friday between 7am and 3:30pm, during which drivers, residents, and business owners should anticipate lane and parking restrictions.

During the construction period, there will be some interruptions to natural gas service that will require UGI personnel to access properties to inspect and relight equipment. The company emphasizes that weather and working conditions may impact the project's completion timeline. Following the completion of underground work, final paving and restoration activities will occur at a later date. Additional information about UGI Utilities, Inc. is available at https://www.ugi.com. The project underscores the utility's dedication to maintaining and improving critical energy infrastructure while minimizing disruption to the community it serves.
