UGI Initiates Gas Main Replacement Project in Manheim Township

UGI Utilities, Inc. has commenced a strategic gas main replacement project in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, aimed at enhancing infrastructure safety and reliability. The multi-month initiative will impact several local streets and potentially provide neighborhood residents with an opportunity to transition to natural gas service.

The infrastructure upgrade will target specific areas including Pleasure Road between Crest Lane and Hilltop Approach, Crest Lane between Pleasure Road and Skyline Drive, and Tusitala Drive between Pleasure Road and Crest Lane. Construction activities are scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 am to 5 pm, with expected completion by late April.

Local residents and businesses should anticipate potential disruptions during the project. Road closures, detours, and traffic delays are likely throughout the construction period. Parking restrictions will be in effect on impacted streets, and some temporary interruptions to natural gas service are expected as technicians inspect and relight equipment.

The project represents a significant investment in local infrastructure maintenance, addressing potential aging utility systems and improving overall service reliability. By proactively replacing gas mains, UGI can minimize future service interruptions, reduce potential safety risks, and enhance the community's energy infrastructure.

Project timelines remain flexible, with potential adjustments based on weather conditions and specific working circumstances. Residents along the project route may experience temporary inconveniences but can expect improved utility infrastructure as a result of these comprehensive system upgrades.
