UGI Utilities, Inc. will initiate a natural gas main replacement project in Catasauqua starting September 15, 2025, as part of its ongoing commitment to enhance service safety and reliability. The infrastructure upgrades present conversion opportunities for eligible properties along the construction route while necessitating temporary disruptions to traffic and gas service. This project represents UGI's continued investment in modernizing energy infrastructure, addressing both current service needs and future demand growth.
The project focuses on replacing aging natural gas infrastructure along Race Street between 2nd Street and 15th Street and North 12th Street. Work will occur weekdays from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, with completion anticipated by late November, though weather conditions may affect the timeline. Final paving and restoration activities will follow the main installation. Residents and business owners should expect road closures, detours, and parking restrictions during construction hours.
The project will also require temporary natural gas service interruptions, necessitating UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. These measures ensure the safe transition to the upgraded system. The infrastructure improvement offers a strategic opportunity for properties along the construction route to convert to natural gas service. UGI, which serves over 760,000 customers across its service territory, emphasizes the reliability and efficiency benefits of natural gas compared to alternative energy sources.
The upgraded system will provide enhanced safety features and improved delivery capabilities, benefiting the Catasauqua community through more reliable energy access and potential economic advantages for converted properties.
