UGI Initiates Gas Main Replacement Project in Manheim Township

UGI Utilities, Inc. has launched a comprehensive gas main replacement project in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, signaling ongoing infrastructure modernization efforts. The project, which began February 10, is expected to conclude by late April and will impact several key streets in the area.

The infrastructure upgrade will focus on Pleasure Road between Crest Lane and Hilltop Approach, Crest Lane between Pleasure Road and Skyline Drive, and Tusitala Drive between Pleasure Road and Crest Lane. Construction will occur Monday through Friday from 7am to 5pm, with potential disruptions to local traffic and temporary parking restrictions.

The project carries significant implications for area residents and businesses. Beyond infrastructure improvement, the initiative provides an opportunity for property owners along the route to convert to natural gas service. While some temporary inconveniences are expected, the long-term benefits include enhanced service reliability and potential energy efficiency improvements.

Residents should anticipate possible brief interruptions to natural gas service, during which UGI technicians will need property access to inspect and relight equipment. The company notes that weather and working conditions may influence the project's completion timeline.

This infrastructure investment underscores UGI's commitment to maintaining and modernizing its utility infrastructure, ultimately supporting community energy needs and safety standards.
