UGI Utilities, Inc. has initiated a major system upgrade in Upper Saucon Township, focusing on replacing gas mains to enhance the safety and reliability of its services. This project not only aims to modernize the infrastructure but also provides an opportunity for residents and businesses along the construction path to transition to natural gas. The upgrade is expected to be completed by early June, with the work area spanning Lanark Road between West Hopewell Road and Cumorah Avenue.
Construction activities are set to take place from Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., potentially causing traffic disruptions, road closures, and detours in the vicinity. Parking will be restricted on the affected streets, and intermittent natural gas service interruptions are anticipated. UGI personnel will need to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting purposes during these interruptions.
The project's timeline may vary depending on weather conditions and the progress of the work. This initiative is a key part of UGI Utilities' ongoing efforts to invest in and modernize the energy infrastructure within its service areas, which cater to over 760,000 customers. The upgrade is expected to enhance service efficiency and expand natural gas access to more properties in the region.
