UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas System Upgrades in Stroudsburg, Offering Conversion Opportunities

UGI Utilities, Inc. will commence a natural gas main replacement project in Stroudsburg on September 2, 2025, as part of the company's ongoing commitment to maintaining safe and reliable service infrastructure. The system upgrades present a significant opportunity for homes and businesses located along the designated project route to convert to natural gas service, potentially offering economic and environmental benefits to property owners in the area.

The underground construction work will focus on Scott Street between North Ninth Street and Bell Terrace, as well as Bell Terrace itself. Scheduled for completion by the end of September, though subject to weather and working conditions, the project will operate Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm. Residents and business owners should anticipate temporary road closures, detours, and parking restrictions during construction hours.

The project will require some temporary interruptions to natural gas service, necessitating UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. Final paving and restoration work will follow the main installation phase. UGI serves more than 760,000 customers as a natural gas and electric utility provider, with additional company information available at https://www.ugi.com.

This infrastructure improvement project represents UGI's continued investment in modernizing energy delivery systems while expanding access to natural gas service. The timing coincides with increasing interest in energy efficiency and cost-effective heating solutions among Pennsylvania residents. The conversion opportunity aligns with broader energy infrastructure development trends across the state, potentially influencing local economic development and property values in the affected neighborhoods.
