UGI Utilities is initiating a significant system upgrade project in Union Township, encompassing parts of Winfield, starting June 23. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its services. The project not only involves the replacement of gas mains but also presents a chance for certain homes and businesses along the route to switch to natural gas, marking a pivotal step towards energy efficiency and sustainability.
The construction, slated for completion by early September, will affect several roads, including Trutt Road, Woodsedge Drive, and Felmey Road, among others. Residents and commuters should anticipate road closures, detours, and potential traffic delays during the construction period, from Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. Additionally, parking restrictions and temporary interruptions to natural gas service are expected, necessitating UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting.
Weather conditions may influence the project's timeline, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work. UGI encourages those interested in converting to natural gas to reach out, highlighting the project's broader implications for energy consumption and environmental impact in the region.
