UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas Main Replacement Project in Nazareth

UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the start of a significant natural gas main replacement project in Nazareth, scheduled to begin on Monday, August 11. This initiative underscores UGI's dedication to ensuring the safety and reliability of its natural gas services. The project, expected to conclude by the end of October, will not only upgrade the existing infrastructure but also provide an opportunity for residences and businesses along the project's path to switch to natural gas.

The construction will affect several key streets in Nazareth, including South Church Street, Mauch Chunk Street, Belvidere Street, Progress Avenue, South Green Street, and South Spruce Street. Work will be conducted from Monday to Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm, potentially causing road closures, detours, and traffic delays. Parking restrictions on the impacted streets and temporary interruptions to natural gas service are also anticipated, necessitating UGI's access to properties for inspection and equipment relighting.

UGI has advised that weather and working conditions may influence the project's timeline. Following the completion of underground work, final paving and restoration activities are planned for a subsequent date. For those considering a switch to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information, though the company emphasizes the importance of planning ahead due to the project's scope and potential disruptions.

This project represents a critical investment in Nazareth's infrastructure, promising enhanced service reliability for UGI's customers. It also highlights the growing role of natural gas in meeting energy needs, offering a cleaner, efficient alternative for the community.
