UGI Utilities has announced the start of system upgrades in Bethlehem, scheduled to begin on July 1, as part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring safe and reliable service. This initiative not only aims to replace a gas main but also presents an opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to consider converting to natural gas.
The upgrade work will affect East North Street between Pine Street and Center Street, and Center Street between East North Street and East Raspberry Street. Construction will take place 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.
Expected to be completed by the end of July, the underground work's timeline may be extended due to weather or working conditions. Final paving and restoration efforts will follow the completion of the underground upgrades. UGI encourages those interested in converting to natural gas to reach out for more information.
This upgrade is significant as it underscores UGI's dedication to infrastructure improvement and service reliability, potentially benefiting thousands of customers in the Bethlehem area. For further details, visit https://www.ugi.com.
