UGI Utilities, Inc. will commence a natural gas main replacement project in Easton starting September 17, 2025, following a rescheduling from the originally planned August start date. The infrastructure upgrades demonstrate the company's continued commitment to providing safe and reliable natural gas service to its customer base throughout the region.
The project encompasses underground work on several critical streets including South 15th Street between Northampton Street and Liberty Street, Northampton Street between South 15th Street and North 7th Street, North 7th Street between Northampton Street and Church Street, and South 12th Street between Northampton Street and Ferry Street. Construction operations will be conducted Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm, with completion of the new natural gas main installation expected by early January, though weather conditions and other factors may impact the project timeline.
This infrastructure improvement initiative presents a substantial opportunity for homes and businesses located along the construction route to convert to natural gas service. The system upgrades will facilitate easier access to natural gas infrastructure, potentially reducing conversion costs and eliminating barriers for property owners considering switching from alternative energy sources.

Residents and business operators should prepare for temporary disruptions including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions during construction hours. Periodic natural gas service interruptions will occur, requiring UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. Final paving and restoration work will follow the main installation phase, completing the infrastructure modernization effort.
The Easton project highlights UGI Utilities' ongoing investment in modernizing energy infrastructure to meet evolving community needs while maintaining service reliability and safety standards. Serving more than 760,000 customers across its service territory, the company continues to prioritize infrastructure improvements that enhance service delivery and support community development through upgraded energy systems.
