UGI Utilities Launches Gas Main Replacement Project in Lancaster Neighborhoods

UGI Utilities, Inc. has commenced a comprehensive natural gas main replacement project in Lancaster, targeting multiple neighborhood streets to enhance infrastructure safety and service reliability. The project spans several key streets and is expected to conclude by the end of March.

The infrastructure upgrade will impact Laurel Street, Hebrank Street, New Dorwart Street, Hazel Street, and Groff Avenue. Residents and businesses along these routes should anticipate potential disruptions, including road closures, traffic delays, and restricted parking during construction hours, which are scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 am to 5 pm.

Beyond infrastructure improvement, the project presents an opportunity for local property owners to convert to natural gas service. The strategic replacement allows UGI to modernize its network while potentially expanding natural gas accessibility for homes and businesses along the project route.

Construction activities will require UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and service relighting, which may result in temporary natural gas service interruptions. Property owners should be prepared for these short-term service modifications.

Project completion is contingent on weather conditions and specific working circumstances, with the current timeline targeting the end of March. The infrastructure upgrade represents a significant investment in Lancaster's utility infrastructure, aimed at maintaining safe and reliable energy distribution.

The project underscores UGI Utilities' commitment to infrastructure maintenance and community service, demonstrating proactive approaches to utility management and potential service expansion.
