UGI Utilities will begin a significant natural gas system upgrade project in Topton Borough starting Wednesday, November 12, as part of the company's ongoing commitment to infrastructure modernization and service reliability. The project involves replacing aging natural gas mains and presents conversion opportunities for properties along the construction route seeking to switch to natural gas service.
The construction work, scheduled for completion by mid-December, will primarily affect several key areas including the intersection of Weis Street and South Home Avenue, South Home Avenue and Home Avenue from Weis Street, Reinert Drive at Tower Drive, and the rear parking lots of Brandywine Community Library and Diakon Lutheran Ministries. Work hours are set for Monday through Friday between 7:00am and 5:00pm, with weather and working conditions potentially affecting the project timeline.
Residents and business owners should anticipate lane restrictions, parking limitations, and temporary interruptions to natural gas service during construction periods. UGI technicians will require property access to inspect and relight equipment following service interruptions, ensuring safe restoration of gas service to affected customers. The company emphasizes that these temporary inconveniences are necessary for long-term infrastructure improvements that will enhance system safety and reliability.
Beyond infrastructure upgrades, this project offers a unique opportunity for homes and businesses along the construction route to convert to natural gas service.
