UGI Utilities has initiated system upgrades in Nanticoke, Luzerne County, as part of its ongoing commitment to provide safe and reliable natural gas service. The project, which began this week, involves replacing natural gas mains along Middle Road between Diploma Way and Kosciuszko Street. The utility expects the work to be completed by mid-September.
The upgrades are part of UGI's broader infrastructure modernization efforts. By replacing aging pipelines, the company aims to reduce the risk of leaks and improve service reliability for customers in the area. Such proactive maintenance is critical to ensuring the long-term integrity of the natural gas distribution system, especially as older infrastructure can become susceptible to corrosion and other wear over time.
Residents and commuters in Nanticoke should anticipate potential disruptions during the construction period. While the work is underway, there may be lane closures, detours, or temporary interruptions to natural gas service. UGI encourages affected customers to plan accordingly and heed any posted signage. The company has not indicated any expected service outages but advises that if they become necessary, customers will be notified in advance.
