UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the start of a significant natural gas main replacement project in Quakertown, scheduled to begin on August 1, 2025. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to maintaining a safe and reliable natural gas service for its customers. The project, expected to conclude by mid-September, will involve upgrades along Rich Hill Road between Whaland Road and Masi Drive, potentially affecting local traffic and parking during construction hours.
The construction, taking place from Monday to Friday between 7:00am and 5:00pm, may lead to road closures, detours, and temporary traffic delays. Residents and business owners in the area should anticipate some disruptions, including restricted parking and intermittent natural gas service interruptions. UGI will need access to properties to inspect and relight equipment as part of the service restoration process.
This project not only aims to improve the infrastructure but also presents an opportunity for eligible homes and businesses along the route to convert to natural gas. UGI encourages those interested in conversion to reach out for more information. The completion of the project is subject to weather and working conditions, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work.
UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, continues to invest in system upgrades to ensure the delivery of efficient and safe energy services. For further details about the project or UGI's services, visit https://www.ugi.com.
