UGI Utilities, Inc. will begin replacing a natural gas service line on East Main Street in Nanticoke on Tuesday, September 23, as part of the company's ongoing infrastructure improvement program. The work, scheduled to last two days from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, will affect properties at 71-73 East Main Street and require temporary interruption of natural gas service for seven customers.
The service line replacement project involves moving seven customer meters from interior locations to exterior positions, which will require UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. This infrastructure upgrade demonstrates UGI's commitment to maintaining safe and reliable natural gas delivery systems while minimizing long-term disruption to customers and community infrastructure.
UGI has implemented measures to reduce impact on the area's recent beautification project, including cutting smaller access holes in pavement for service line installation. The company will perform temporary restoration immediately following underground work, with final restoration scheduled for a later date using techniques that create seamless bonds between new and existing asphalt surfaces.
As a utility serving more than 760,000 customers across its service territory, UGI's infrastructure investments represent critical maintenance of essential energy delivery systems.
