UGI Launches Hellertown Gas Main Upgrade, Offers Conversion Opportunities

UGI Utilities has launched a significant natural gas system upgrades project in Hellertown, Pennsylvania, demonstrating the company's ongoing commitment to providing safe and reliable service to its extensive customer base of over 760,000 customers. The core initiative involves replacing natural gas mains along East High Street from Main Street to Easton Road, with construction scheduled Monday through Friday between 7:00am and 5:00pm and an anticipated completion date of mid-January, though weather and working conditions may affect this timeline. This infrastructure improvement not only enhances system integrity but also presents a valuable opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas, potentially offering them more efficient and cost-effective energy options.

The construction phase will inevitably bring some disruptions to the local community, including lane and parking restrictions that may affect drivers, residents, and business owners during working hours. Additionally, there will be temporary interruptions to natural gas service requiring UGI technicians to access properties to inspect and relight equipment, a necessary step to ensure safety during the transition. Following the underground work completion, final paving and restoration will occur to return the area to normal conditions, with UGI encouraging interested parties to explore conversion possibilities by contacting them directly at 800-276-2722 or gasconversion@ugi.com for more information about this energy opportunity.

As a leading natural gas and electric utility company serving Pennsylvania communities, UGI Utilities emphasizes its dedication to modernizing infrastructure while minimizing community impact through careful planning and communication.
