UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the commencement of a natural gas main replacement project in Nazareth, starting Monday, August 11. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project, expected to conclude by the end of October, will not only upgrade the existing infrastructure but also provide an opportunity for certain homes and businesses along the project route to switch to natural gas.
The construction will affect several streets in Nazareth, including South Church Street, Mauch Chunk Street, Belvidere Street, Progress Avenue, South Green Street, and South Spruce Street. Work hours are scheduled from 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, potentially causing road closures, detours, and traffic delays. Parking restrictions on the impacted streets and temporary interruptions to natural gas service are also anticipated, necessitating UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting.
Weather and working conditions may influence the project's timeline, with final paving and restoration to follow the completion of underground work. UGI encourages those interested in converting to natural gas to reach out for more information. For further details on UGI Utilities, Inc. and its services, visit https://www.ugi.com.
