UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas Main Replacement Project in Easton

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced a significant infrastructure upgrade in Easton, with a natural gas main replacement project scheduled to commence on August 18, 2025. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its services. The project not only aims to modernize the gas distribution system but also presents a unique opportunity for properties along the specified routes to transition to natural gas, a cleaner and more efficient energy source.

The construction will focus on several key streets, including South 15th Street between Northampton Street and Liberty Street, Northampton Street between South 15th Street and North 7th Street, North 7th Street between Northampton Street and Church Street, and South 12th Street between Northampton Street and Ferry Street. Work hours are set from 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, with expected disruptions such as road closures, detours, and temporary parking restrictions. Additionally, some interruptions to natural gas service are anticipated, necessitating UGI's access to properties for inspection and equipment relighting.

Anticipated to conclude by early December, the project's timeline may adjust based on weather conditions and work progress. Final paving and restoration activities will follow the main installation. UGI Utilities, Inc., serving over 760,000 customers, encourages those interested in converting to natural gas to explore this opportunity. More details about the project and UGI's services can be found at www.ugi.com.

This project represents a critical step forward in Easton's energy infrastructure, offering long-term benefits in terms of environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and service reliability. The conversion to natural gas could significantly reduce energy costs for residents and businesses, while also contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions. The initiative aligns with broader environmental goals and demonstrates UGI's commitment to supporting the communities it serves through innovative and sustainable energy solutions.
