UGI Utilities, Inc. will begin a natural gas main replacement project in Easton on September 17, 2025, following a rescheduling from last month. This infrastructure upgrade is part of UGI's commitment to providing safe and reliable service to its customers. The project will involve underground work on several key 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.
The construction is scheduled to occur Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with completion expected by early January, though weather and working conditions may affect this timeline. During this period, drivers, residents, and business owners should anticipate road closures, detours, parking restrictions, and some interruptions to natural gas service. UGI will require access to properties to inspect and relight equipment as needed. Final paving and restoration will be completed after the main installation.
This project is significant as it enhances the safety and reliability of the natural gas distribution system, reducing the risk of leaks and service disruptions. For the community, it presents an opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas, which can offer cost savings, energy efficiency, and environmental benefits compared to other fuels. Natural gas is often a more affordable and cleaner-burning option, potentially lowering energy bills and reducing carbon emissions for those who switch.
The implications extend beyond immediate convenience, contributing to broader energy infrastructure resilience and supporting regional economic stability by ensuring dependable utility services. UGI Utilities, Inc., which serves over 760,000 customers, provides additional information at https://www.ugi.com. This upgrade underscores the importance of modernizing aging infrastructure to meet growing energy demands and sustainability goals, benefiting both current and future residents and businesses in Easton.
