UGI Utilities to Begin Natural Gas System Upgrades in Topton Borough

UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrade project in Topton Borough on Wednesday, November 12. The natural gas main replacement project represents part of UGI's commitment to provide safe and reliable service to the community. This infrastructure improvement also creates opportunities for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service, potentially offering residents and business owners access to more efficient energy options.

The installation of the new natural gas main is expected to be completed by mid-December, with work impacting several key areas throughout the borough. Affected locations include the intersection of Weis Street and South Home Avenue, South Home Avenue and Home Avenue from Weis Street, Reinert Drive at Tower Drive, and the rear parking lot areas serving both the Brandywine Community Library and Diakon Lutheran Ministries. Construction operations will occur Monday through Friday between 7:00am and 5:00pm, with lane and parking restrictions anticipated during these hours.

Residents and business owners should prepare for temporary service interruptions as the project progresses. These interruptions will require UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. The company emphasizes that weather conditions and working circumstances may influence the project timeline, with final paving and restoration activities scheduled after the underground work concludes.

This infrastructure enhancement represents a significant investment in Topton Borough's energy delivery system, ensuring continued access to reliable natural gas service while modernizing the distribution network. The project aligns with broader utility infrastructure improvement initiatives occurring throughout the region, addressing aging systems while maintaining service continuity for existing customers.
