UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas System Upgrades in Nazareth

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the start of a significant natural gas main replacement project in Nazareth, scheduled to begin on Monday, August 11. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project, expected to conclude by the end of October, will not only upgrade the existing infrastructure but also provide an opportunity for certain homes and businesses along the project's path to switch to natural gas.

The construction will primarily affect several key streets in Nazareth, including South Church Street, Mauch Chunk Street, Belvidere Street, Progress Avenue, South Green Street, and South Spruce Street. Work will be conducted from Monday to Friday, between 7:00am and 5:00pm, potentially causing road closures, detours, and traffic delays. Parking restrictions on the impacted streets are also anticipated, alongside temporary interruptions to natural gas service as UGI personnel inspect and relight equipment on properties.

UGI has advised that the project's timeline may be influenced by weather and working conditions, with final paving and restoration to follow the completion of underground work. For those considering converting to natural gas, UGI encourages reaching out through their contact options. More details about UGI Utilities, Inc. and its services can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
