UGI Utilities to Begin Natural Gas System Upgrades in East Stroudsburg

UGI Utilities, Inc. will initiate a significant natural gas main replacement project in East Stroudsburg beginning Wednesday, October 1. These system upgrades represent part of UGI's ongoing commitment to maintaining safe and reliable service infrastructure. The project also presents a conversion opportunity for homes and businesses located along the project route to switch to natural gas service.

Underground construction work will occur on multiple streets including Analomink Street between North Courtland Street and Ransberry Avenue, Crystal Street between Bank Aly and Analomink Street, and Penn Street between South Kistler Street and Fairview Street. Additional work zones include Fairview Street, Prospect Street between Analomink Street and Normal Street, and Ransberry Avenue between Analomink Street and Normal Street. The scheduled construction hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm.

The project will involve temporary disruptions including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions affecting drivers, residents, and business owners. Natural gas service interruptions will occur during specific phases of the project, requiring UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. The new natural gas main installation is projected for completion by mid-February, though weather conditions and work progress may alter this timeline.

Final paving and restoration activities will follow the main installation phase. Property owners interested in converting to natural gas service can find additional information through UGI's official channels. UGI Utilities, Inc. serves more than 760,000 customers as a natural gas and electric utility provider, with comprehensive company details available at https://www.ugi.com.
