UGI Set to Begin Additional System Upgrades in Hazleton Next Week
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Release Date: October 3, 2025
UGI Utilities, Inc. is scheduled to begin a natural gas main replacement project in Hazleton on Monday, October 6. The system upgrades are part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service. The work is also an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
Underground work will happen on the following streets:
- North James Street between West 17th Street and West 11th Street
- West 15th Street between Hanover Court and North Penn Court
- West 14th Street between North James Street and North Penn Court
- West 13th Street between Hanover Court and North James Street
- West 12th Street between Hanover Court and North James Street
Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm. Drivers, residents, and business owners may experience road closures, detours, and parking restrictions. There will be some interruptions to natural gas service. This will require UGI to have access to properties to inspect and relight equipment.
Installation of the new natural gas main is expected to be completed by the end of December. Temporary restoration of the area will occur immediately after the underground work is completed. Final paving will happen at a later date.
UGI encourages anyone interested in converting to natural gas to contact the company at 800-276-2722 or gasconversion@ugi.com.
