UGI Utilities Initiates Natural Gas Main Replacement in Lancaster

UGI Utilities, Inc. has embarked on a significant natural gas main replacement initiative in Lancaster, marking a pivotal step in its ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety and reliability of its services. This project not only underscores UGI's dedication to infrastructure improvement but also presents a unique opportunity for residences and businesses along the designated route to transition to natural gas, potentially leading to energy efficiency and cost savings.

Scheduled for completion by the end of September, the project will affect several key streets in Lancaster, including North Charlotte Street, West Grant Street, West Strawberry Street, West Filbert Street, East Filbert Street, and New Dorwart Street. Construction activities, set to take place from Monday to Friday between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm, are expected to cause road closures, detours, and traffic delays, with parking restrictions also in effect on the impacted streets. Additionally, intermittent natural gas service interruptions will necessitate UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting.

The timeline for the project's completion may be influenced by weather conditions and other operational factors. Following the underground work, UGI plans to carry out final paving and restoration efforts to ensure the area's infrastructure is fully restored.

For those considering the switch to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information for inquiries. This initiative reflects UGI Utilities, Inc.'s broader mission to serve over 760,000 customers with dependable natural gas and electric services, further detailed on their official website.
