UGI Utilities, Inc. is embarking on two significant natural gas main replacement projects in Coplay, marking a pivotal step in the company's ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety and reliability of its services. These projects not only aim to upgrade the existing infrastructure but also present a unique opportunity for residents and businesses along the project routes to convert to natural gas, a cleaner and more efficient energy source.
The first project, commencing on August 4 and expected to conclude by early September, will affect travel on Pembroke Road, Arcadia Street, and Minsi Trail Street. The second project, starting on August 11 with a completion target by the end of September, will impact Coplay Street, South Eighth Street, and Hokendauqua Street. Construction activities are scheduled from Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm, potentially causing road closures, detours, and traffic delays. Parking restrictions 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 projects' timelines, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work. UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, underscores the importance of these upgrades in maintaining a robust natural gas system. For those considering a switch to natural gas, UGI provides a dedicated contact point. More information about UGI Utilities, Inc. and its services can be found at https://www.ugi.com.
