UGI Utilities Launches Extensive Gas Main Replacement Project in Nazareth

UGI Utilities, Inc. is set to commence a significant infrastructure upgrade project in Nazareth, focusing on replacing gas mains across several key streets in the area. The comprehensive system improvement initiative, scheduled to begin April 7, represents a strategic investment in community infrastructure and service reliability.

The project will target gas main replacements on multiple streets, including East Prospect Street, South Cedar Street, East Park Street, South Broad Street, East Walnut Street, and South Main Street. Construction activities will occur Monday through Friday between 7 am and 5 pm, with an anticipated completion by late September.

Local residents and businesses should anticipate potential disruptions during the construction period. Road closures, detours, and traffic delays are expected, with parking restrictions implemented on affected streets. Some properties may experience temporary interruptions in natural gas service, necessitating UGI personnel to inspect and relight equipment.

Beyond infrastructure maintenance, the project presents an opportunity for homeowners and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service. This potential conversion could offer improved energy efficiency and potentially lower utility costs for participants.

The gas main replacement is part of UGI's broader commitment to maintaining safe and reliable utility infrastructure. By proactively upgrading aging gas distribution systems, the company aims to enhance service quality, reduce potential maintenance issues, and ensure consistent energy delivery to the community.

While construction timelines are subject to weather and working conditions, UGI remains committed to minimizing disruption and completing the project efficiently. Residents and businesses are advised to plan accordingly and anticipate potential traffic and service modifications during the construction period.
