UGI Utilities, Inc. will initiate a natural gas main replacement project in Catasauqua starting September 15, 2025, as part of its ongoing commitment to maintaining safe and reliable energy delivery systems. The infrastructure upgrades represent significant investment in local energy infrastructure that will benefit both current natural gas users and potential new customers along the project route.
The construction work will focus on Race Street between 2nd Street and 15th Street and North 12th Street, with operations scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm. During this period, residents, business owners, and commuters should anticipate temporary road closures, detours, and parking restrictions. The project also necessitates intermittent natural gas service interruptions, requiring UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures to ensure continuous safety standards.
This infrastructure enhancement presents a valuable opportunity for homes and businesses located along the construction route to convert to natural gas service. The conversion option allows property owners to access potentially more efficient and cost-effective energy solutions while supporting the community's transition to modernized energy infrastructure. The new natural gas main installation is projected for completion by late November 2025, though weather conditions and operational factors may influence the timeline.
The project's completion will be followed by final paving and restoration work, ensuring minimal long-term disruption to the community. UGI Utilities, serving over 760,000 customers as a comprehensive natural gas and electric utility provider, maintains detailed information about its services and operations available at https://www.ugi.com. This infrastructure investment demonstrates the company's dedication to modernizing energy delivery systems while providing expanded service options to the Catasauqua community.
