UGI Utilities, Inc. will initiate a natural gas main replacement project in Catasauqua starting September 15, 2025, as part of the company's ongoing commitment to infrastructure safety and reliability. The project focuses on Race Street between 2nd Street and 15th Street and North 12th Street, with construction scheduled weekdays from 7:00am to 5:00pm through late November, though weather conditions may affect the timeline.
The infrastructure upgrades present a significant opportunity for homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas service. This conversion option aligns with broader energy transition trends and offers potential cost savings and environmental benefits for local consumers. The project represents UGI's continued investment in modernizing energy delivery systems across its service territory.
Residents and business owners should anticipate temporary disruptions including road closures, detours, and parking restrictions during construction hours. Natural gas service interruptions will occur, requiring UGI technicians to access properties for equipment inspection and relighting procedures. The company emphasizes that these measures are necessary to ensure safe implementation of the upgraded infrastructure system.
Final paving and restoration work will follow the main installation completion, ensuring minimal long-term impact on the community's infrastructure. The project underscores the importance of maintaining and modernizing energy distribution networks to meet evolving safety standards and consumer demands.
