UGI Utilities Announces System Upgrades in Bethlehem

UGI Utilities is set to begin system upgrades in Bethlehem on July 1, as part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring safe and reliable service. This initiative also presents an opportunity for certain homes and businesses along the project's path to convert to natural gas. The upgrade involves the replacement of a gas main, affecting East North Street between Pine Street and Center Street, and Center Street between East North Street and East Raspberry Street. Construction will take place from 7am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, with parking restrictions in effect during these hours. Residents should anticipate some interruptions to natural gas service, necessitating UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting.

The underground work is projected to be completed by the end of July, though weather and working conditions may extend this timeline. Final paving and restoration will follow the main construction phase. For those considering a switch to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information, though specific details are not included here in adherence to the guidelines. UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, continues to prioritize infrastructure improvements to meet the needs of its service areas.
