UGI Utilities Announces Natural Gas System Upgrades in Stroudsburg with Conversion Opportunities

UGI Utilities, Inc. will commence a natural gas main replacement project in Stroudsburg beginning Tuesday, September 2, 2025. The infrastructure upgrades represent part of UGI's ongoing commitment to delivering safe and reliable natural gas service to its customer base. This project also creates a unique opportunity for properties located along the construction route to convert to natural gas service.

The underground work will focus on Scott Street between North Ninth Street and Bell Terrace, as well as Bell Terrace itself. Construction activities are scheduled to occur Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During this period, drivers, residents, and business owners should anticipate potential road closures, detours, and parking restrictions throughout the affected areas.

The project will involve temporary interruptions to natural gas service, requiring UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. Property owners should ensure access is available for these essential safety activities. The new natural gas main installation is projected for completion by the end of September, though weather conditions and work progress may affect this timeline. Final paving and restoration work will follow the main installation phase.

This infrastructure improvement project holds significant implications for the local community and energy sector. For residents and businesses along the construction route, the project presents a cost-effective opportunity to convert to natural gas, which typically offers lower energy costs compared to other heating fuels. The system upgrades enhance overall service reliability and safety for existing natural gas customers while supporting regional energy infrastructure modernization efforts.

UGI Utilities, Inc. serves more than 760,000 customers as a comprehensive natural gas and electric utility provider.
