UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced a significant infrastructure upgrade in Catasauqua, focusing on the replacement of aging gas mains across several key streets. This project, scheduled from March through May 2025, is part of UGI's ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and reliability of its natural gas distribution system. The initiative will cover South 13th Street, Bath Avenue, South 15th Street, Bethlehem Road, and South 14th Street, with construction activities planned for weekdays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The upgrade is expected to bring temporary inconveniences, including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions, as well as possible interruptions to natural gas service. However, it also presents an opportunity for residents and businesses along the project route to consider converting to natural gas service, leveraging the infrastructure modernization for potential energy benefits.
UGI Utilities emphasizes the importance of this project in enhancing service quality and minimizing future disruptions. The company has committed to keeping the community informed about the progress and any adjustments to the construction schedule, which may be affected by weather conditions.
