UGI Utilities Launches Gas Main Replacement Project in Upper Saucon Township

UGI Utilities, Inc. has commenced a significant system upgrade project in Upper Saucon Township, focusing on gas main replacement to enhance service safety and reliability. The infrastructure improvement initiative presents an opportunity for local residents and businesses along the project route to transition to natural gas. This project is part of UGI Utilities' broader commitment to maintaining and modernizing its utility infrastructure, serving more than 760,000 customers across its operational regions.

The project, scheduled for completion by early June, will impact Lanark Road between West Hopewell Road and Cumorah Avenue. Construction will occur Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with potential disruptions to traffic flow and local transportation. Area residents and businesses should anticipate potential road closures, detours, and traffic delays during construction hours. Parking restrictions will be in effect on affected streets.

Some intermittent interruptions to natural gas service are expected, requiring UGI personnel to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting. Project timelines may be subject to adjustment based on weather conditions and ongoing work progress. The infrastructure upgrade represents a strategic investment in the region's energy infrastructure, potentially improving service efficiency and offering expanded natural gas access to local properties.
