UGI Utilities, Inc. is set to begin a significant system upgrade project in Emmaus that will impact multiple neighborhood streets and potentially provide residents with an opportunity to convert to natural gas service. The infrastructure improvement initiative will span several key streets and is anticipated to be completed by mid-July.
The project covers West Greenleaf Street, North 7th Street, West Berger Street, Franklin Street, North Street, and 6th Street. Construction will occur Monday through Friday from 7am to 5pm, with expected disruptions including road closures, detours, and traffic delays. Residents and businesses along the project route should anticipate parking restrictions and potential temporary service interruptions.
The gas main replacement represents a strategic infrastructure investment aimed at enhancing service reliability and safety. By upgrading aging infrastructure, UGI Utilities is proactively addressing potential maintenance issues and creating an opportunity for local property owners to transition to natural gas service.
Property owners along the affected streets may benefit from convenient access to natural gas connections during this infrastructure upgrade. The project underscores UGI's commitment to maintaining and modernizing utility infrastructure to serve community needs effectively.
