UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the commencement of a significant natural gas main replacement project in Easton, starting Wednesday, August 6. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project not only aims to upgrade the existing infrastructure but also presents a unique opportunity for residences and businesses along the project's path to switch to natural gas, potentially benefiting from its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
The construction, expected to conclude by mid-October, will primarily affect North 13th Street between Bushkill Drive and Wood Avenue. Operating hours are set from 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, during which locals should anticipate road closures, detours, and possible traffic delays. Parking restrictions on the affected streets and temporary interruptions to natural gas service are also expected, necessitating UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting purposes.
While the underground work is projected to finish by October, final paving and restoration will follow at a later date. It's important to note that the project's timeline may be influenced by weather conditions and other unforeseen working challenges. For those considering the switch to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information for inquiries, emphasizing the project's role in facilitating energy conversions for the community.
UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, continues to prioritize infrastructure improvements to meet the growing demands for natural gas and electric services.
