UGI Utilities Announces System Upgrades in Milton to Enhance Service Reliability

UGI Utilities has announced the commencement of system upgrades in Milton starting Monday, August 4th, as part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring safe and reliable service. This initiative not only aims to replace gas mains but also presents an opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to switch to natural gas, marking a significant step towards energy efficiency and sustainability.

The upgrade project, anticipated to conclude by the end of September, will primarily affect Broadway Street (SR-254) from Turbot Avenue to Queen Street, along with several side streets including Turbot Avenue, Stanton Avenue, Prospect Avenue, Cedar Street, Hottenstein Lane, Brown Avenue, Poplar Avenue, and Queen Street. The construction is expected to cause travel disruptions, including potential delays for Milton School District buses due to single lane restrictions and limitations on wide load truck traffic on Broadway Street (SR-254) during the project duration.

Operating hours for the construction are set from Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, with parking restrictions on the impacted streets during these times. Residents should also prepare for intermittent natural gas service interruptions, necessitating UGI's access to properties for inspection and equipment relighting. The completion timeline may be influenced by weather and working conditions, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work.

For those considering the switch to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information, emphasizing the project's dual benefit of infrastructure improvement and energy conversion opportunities. More details about UGI Utilities and its services can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
