UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas Main Replacement Project in Easton

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the commencement of a natural gas main replacement project in Easton, starting Wednesday, August 6. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its service. The project not only aims to upgrade the existing infrastructure but also presents an opportunity for homes and businesses along the construction route to switch to natural gas, a cleaner and potentially more cost-effective energy source.

The construction, expected to conclude by mid-October, will primarily affect North 13th Street between Bushkill Drive and Wood Avenue. Operating hours are set from 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday. During this period, the community should anticipate road closures, detours, and possible traffic delays. Parking restrictions on the affected streets and temporary interruptions to natural gas service are also expected. UGI will need access to properties to inspect and relight equipment, ensuring a smooth transition back to service.

Factors such as weather and working conditions may influence the project's timeline. Following the underground work, UGI plans to carry out final paving and restoration activities. For those considering the switch to natural gas, UGI provides contact options for further information. More details about UGI Utilities, Inc. and its services can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
