UGI Utilities will begin a natural gas main replacement project in Lancaster on Monday, November 10th, as part of ongoing infrastructure improvements to ensure safe and reliable service. The work will impact West Mifflin Street between South Mulberry Street and South Water Street, Hoffman Terrace, South Water Street between West King Street and West Mifflin Street, and West Grant Street between North Arch Street and North Water Street. Construction operations are scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm, with potential lane and parking restrictions during these hours, and the project is expected to be completed by mid-January.
Residents and business owners should anticipate some interruptions to natural gas service during the project timeline, requiring UGI technicians to access properties to inspect and relight equipment. The company notes that weather and working conditions may affect the projected completion date, with final paving and restoration work scheduled after the underground installation is finished. This timing during late fall and early winter months reflects careful planning to minimize disruption while addressing critical infrastructure needs before more severe winter weather conditions typically arrive in the region.
The infrastructure improvements represent ongoing efforts to maintain and enhance the reliability of natural gas distribution systems in communities throughout UGI's service territory. Utility officials emphasize that maintaining modern gas distribution systems helps ensure consistent service delivery and supports public safety through updated infrastructure that meets current technical standards and regulatory requirements.
