UGI Utilities to Begin Natural Gas System Upgrades in Lancaster County Next Week

UGI Utilities, Inc. will initiate a natural gas main replacement project along Greenfield Road in Lancaster County beginning September 2, marking another phase in the utility company's ongoing infrastructure improvement program. The system upgrades represent UGI's commitment to maintaining safe and reliable service for its extensive customer base.

Underground work will occur in two specific areas: Greenfield Road between Independence Court and Route 30, and Hempstead Road near the Pitney Road Shopping Plaza Main Entrance. Construction operations are scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm, with completion of the new natural gas main installation anticipated by the end of October.

The project's importance lies in its contribution to infrastructure safety and reliability, affecting both residential and commercial natural gas service. These upgrades help prevent potential service interruptions and maintain the integrity of the natural gas distribution system that serves more than 760,000 customers throughout UGI's service territory.

Local impacts include potential road closures, detours, and parking restrictions that may affect drivers, residents, and business owners in the construction areas. The completion timeline remains subject to change due to weather conditions and other working factors, with final paving and restoration activities scheduled to occur after the main installation work concludes.
