UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the commencement of a natural gas main replacement project in Easton, starting Wednesday, August 6. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project, expected to conclude by mid-October, will involve underground work on North 13th Street between Bushkill Drive and Wood Avenue, potentially affecting traffic and parking in the area.
The construction, scheduled from Monday to Friday between 7:00am and 5:00pm, may lead to road closures, detours, and traffic delays. Residents and business owners along the project route should anticipate some disruptions, including temporary interruptions to natural gas service. UGI will need access to properties to inspect and relight equipment, ensuring a smooth transition post-upgrade.
This project also presents an opportunity for some homes and businesses to convert to natural gas, a cleaner and more efficient energy source. Those interested in making the switch are encouraged to reach out to UGI for more information. The completion of the project is subject to weather and working conditions, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work.
UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, continues to invest in infrastructure improvements to meet the growing demand for reliable energy services. For further details on the project or UGI's services, visit www.ugi.com.
