UGI Launches Steelton Gas Main Replacement Project

UGI Utilities, Inc. has launched a significant natural gas infrastructure upgrade project in Steelton, Pennsylvania, beginning October 3, 2025. The utility company, which serves over 760,000 customers across its service territory, is undertaking this comprehensive main replacement initiative as part of its ongoing commitment to providing safe and reliable natural gas service. The project encompasses multiple streets throughout the Steelton community, including South 4th Street between Q Street and E Avenue, D Avenue at South 4th Street, S Street between South 4th Street and 3rd Alley, and several other key thoroughfares. This extensive infrastructure work represents a substantial investment in the community's energy delivery system and presents an opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service.

The construction schedule runs Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm, with completion of the new natural gas main installation expected by the end of December 2025. Residents and business owners should anticipate significant disruptions including road closures, detours, parking restrictions, and temporary interruptions to natural gas service. UGI will need access to properties to inspect and relight equipment during service restoration phases. The company has outlined a phased restoration approach, with temporary restoration occurring immediately after underground work completion and final paving scheduled for a later date. For those interested in converting to natural gas, UGI encourages contacting them at 800-276-2722 or gasconversion@ugi.com, with additional information available through their official website at www.ugi.com.

This infrastructure modernization effort reflects UGI's broader commitment to maintaining and improving the reliability and safety of the natural gas distribution system serving Steelton residents and businesses. The project timing through the fall and early winter months aims to minimize long-term disruption while ensuring the community benefits from upgraded infrastructure before peak heating season. The company's proactive approach to system upgrades demonstrates their dedication to meeting current and future energy needs while maintaining the highest safety standards. The conversion opportunity for additional customers represents an expansion of clean, efficient natural gas service to more community members, potentially lowering energy costs and improving service reliability for years to come.
