UGI Utilities Announces Stroudsburg Natural Gas System Upgrades and Conversion Opportunities

UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Stroudsburg on Monday, November 24, 2025. The natural gas main replacement project represents UGI's ongoing commitment to providing safe and reliable service to the community. This infrastructure improvement initiative also creates opportunities for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service, potentially offering energy cost savings and improved efficiency for local residents and commercial establishments.

The installation of the new natural gas main is expected to be completed by April and will impact multiple streets throughout the Stroudsburg area. Affected roadways include North 5th Street from Wiley Avenue to Oakwood Avenue, Wiley Avenue, Wallace Street from Wiley Avenue to Wizac Avenue, Wizac Avenue between North 5th Street and King Street, Oakwood Avenue, and Spruce Street between Stokes Mill Road and Oakwood Avenue. Construction activities are scheduled Monday through Friday between 7:00am and 5:00pm, with planned pauses during holiday periods including November 26 through November 28, December 24 through December 26, and December 31 through January 1.

During construction periods, drivers, residents, and business owners should anticipate lane and parking restrictions that may affect daily routines and business operations. The project will involve some temporary interruptions to natural gas service, requiring UGI personnel to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. Weather conditions and working circumstances may influence the project timeline, with final paving and restoration work scheduled after completion of underground infrastructure improvements.

This system upgrade project supports UGI Utilities' broader mission to maintain and enhance energy infrastructure across its service territory. As a natural gas and electric utility company serving more than 760,000 customers, UGI maintains comprehensive information about its services and operations available at https://www.ugi.com. The Stroudsburg project exemplifies the type of infrastructure investment necessary to ensure long-term system reliability and safety while accommodating potential growth in natural gas usage within the community.
