UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced the commencement of two natural gas main replacement projects in Coplay, marking a significant step towards ensuring the safety and reliability of its services. The projects, scheduled to start in early August 2025, are part of UGI's ongoing efforts to upgrade its infrastructure and provide customers with efficient energy solutions. The first project, beginning August 4, will focus on Pembroke Road, Arcadia Street, and Minsi Trail Street, with completion expected by early September. The second project, starting August 11, will cover Coplay Street, South Eighth Street, and Hokendauqua Street, aiming to finish by the end of September.
These upgrades are not just about replacing old pipes; they represent an opportunity for residents and businesses along the project routes to switch to natural gas, a cleaner and potentially more cost-effective energy source. However, the construction will bring temporary inconveniences, including road closures, detours, and traffic delays from 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday. Parking restrictions and intermittent natural gas service interruptions are also expected, necessitating UGI's access to properties for equipment inspection and relighting.
UGI has emphasized that weather and working conditions could affect the project timelines, with final paving and restoration to follow the underground work. For those considering the switch to natural gas, UGI provides contact options for more information. This initiative underscores UGI's commitment to modernizing its infrastructure and supporting the community's energy needs.
