UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a natural gas main replacement project in Womelsdorf Borough on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. The system upgrade is part of the company's ongoing commitment to provide safe and reliable natural gas service to its customers.
The project involves replacing existing natural gas mains with modern infrastructure, which reduces the risk of leaks and improves service dependability. For residents and businesses along the project route, the upgrade also presents an opportunity to convert to natural gas, a fuel that can lower energy costs and reduce carbon emissions compared to other fossil fuels.
UGI Utilities, Inc. is a natural gas and electric utility company that serves more than 760,000 customers across its service territory. Additional information about the company is available at www.ugi.com.
The main replacement is part of a broader effort by UGI to modernize its distribution system and enhance safety. Such infrastructure projects are critical for maintaining reliable service and meeting regulatory standards. They also support economic development by ensuring that homes and businesses have access to a dependable energy source.
For those interested in converting to natural gas, the project offers a timely opportunity. Natural gas is often more cost-effective than heating oil or propane and is used for heating, cooking, and other applications. Converting can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as natural gas burns more cleanly than other fossil fuels.
Residents and businesses along the project route will receive direct communication from UGI regarding the construction schedule, potential service interruptions, and the steps needed to convert to natural gas. The company typically provides advance notice and works to minimize disruptions during construction.
The project is expected to bring long-term benefits to the Womelsdorf community by improving the reliability of the natural gas system and providing an opportunity for more households and businesses to access natural gas service. UGI's investment in infrastructure underscores its commitment to safety and customer service.
