UGI Utilities to Begin System Upgrades in Lyons Borough

UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Lyons Borough, Berks County on Monday, July 20, 2026. The work is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.

The upgrades are part of ongoing efforts by UGI to modernize its infrastructure, ensuring that customers receive uninterrupted service. According to the company, the project will involve replacing or upgrading existing pipelines and related equipment to improve system integrity and capacity. This is particularly important as natural gas demand continues to grow in the region.

Residents and businesses along the project route will have the chance to connect to natural gas, which is often more efficient and cost-effective than other energy sources. UGI encourages eligible customers to take advantage of this opportunity, as natural gas can provide significant savings on energy bills and reduce environmental impact compared to oil or propane.

UGI Utilities, Inc. is a natural gas and electric utility company that serves more than 760,000 customers. The company has a long history of investing in its infrastructure to maintain high standards of safety and reliability. For more information about UGI and its services, visit www.ugi.com.

By investing in system enhancements, UGI aims to prevent future outages and support the community’s energy requirements for years to come.

Work is expected to proceed with minimal disruption to traffic and daily activities, though some temporary road closures or detours may be necessary. UGI will coordinate with local authorities to ensure public safety during construction. Customers with questions or concerns are advised to monitor UGI’s official communications for updates.
