UGI Utilities to Begin Natural Gas Infrastructure Upgrades in Camp Hill

UGI Utilities, Inc. is scheduled to begin a natural gas main replacement project in Camp Hill on Wednesday, October 1. The system upgrades represent part of UGI's ongoing commitment to provide safe and reliable service to its customer base. This infrastructure improvement initiative also presents an opportunity for certain homes and businesses located along the project route to convert to natural gas service, potentially offering energy efficiency benefits and cost savings.

Underground work will occur on Scarsdale Drive between Rockaway Drive and Plainview Road, as well as at the intersections of Rockaway Drive, Cedarhurst Lane and Plainview Road with Scarsdale Drive. Construction operations are planned for Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm. The project timeline anticipates completion of the new natural gas main installation by the end of October, though weather conditions and working circumstances may affect this schedule.

Residents and business operators should prepare for potential disruptions including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions throughout the project duration. The work will necessitate some interruptions to natural gas service, requiring UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. Final paving and restoration activities will follow the main installation phase.

The project aligns with UGI's broader infrastructure modernization efforts detailed on their official website at https://www.ugi.com. As a natural gas and electric utility serving more than 760,000 customers, these system upgrades contribute to maintaining service reliability and safety standards. The timing of this project allows for minimal disruption while ensuring long-term benefits for the Camp Hill community's energy infrastructure.
