UGI Utilities has announced the commencement of system upgrades in Bethlehem, starting July 1, as part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring safe and reliable service for its customers. This initiative not only aims to enhance the infrastructure but also presents an opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to consider converting to natural gas, potentially offering a more efficient energy solution.
The upgrade involves the replacement of a gas main, which will affect East North Street between Pine Street and Center Street, and Center Street between East North Street and East Raspberry Street. Construction is scheduled from 7am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, with parking restrictions in place during these hours. Residents and businesses should anticipate some interruptions to natural gas service, as UGI will need access to properties to inspect and relight equipment.
UGI estimates that the underground work will be completed by the end of July, barring any delays due to weather or working conditions. Final paving and restoration efforts will follow the completion of the underground work. This project underscores UGI’s dedication to maintaining and improving its infrastructure to meet the needs of its customers efficiently.
For those interested in converting to natural gas, UGI has provided contact information, emphasizing the potential benefits of such a conversion. This upgrade is a critical step in UGI’s mission to deliver reliable and safe energy services to over 760,000 customers across its service area.
