UGI Utilities, Inc. is set to begin two major gas main replacement projects in Easton, Pennsylvania, starting in early January. These projects are part of UGI's commitment to improving service reliability and infrastructure. The first project, starting January 2, will cover Walnut Street between Butler Street and Northampton Street, and Lehigh Street between South 9th Street and Walnut Street, with completion expected by late April. The second project, beginning January 6, will focus on Ferry Street between South 12th Street and South 15th Street, and South 14th Street between Ferry Street and Spruce Street, aiming for completion by late March.
These upgrades are crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of natural gas service, especially during the winter months. Residents and businesses along the construction routes may experience disruptions, including road closures and temporary gas service interruptions. UGI is also highlighting the opportunity for properties along these routes to consider converting to natural gas, which could offer long-term energy and cost benefits.
The projects reflect UGI's broader efforts to modernize utility infrastructure to meet increasing energy demands and enhance system resilience. With over 740,000 customers, UGI's investment in Easton's infrastructure underscores its commitment to public safety and regional energy needs.

These projects not only aim to immediately upgrade Easton's utility infrastructure but also contribute to the community's long-term energy stability and efficiency, potentially influencing the area's economic and environmental landscape.
