UGI Utilities has announced the postponement of its planned gas main replacement project in Hazle Township, originally slated for this year, to 2026. The infrastructure upgrade along Route 940, spanning from Hillside Drive to Christine Road, represents a strategic investment in maintaining safe and reliable natural gas service.
The delayed project offers significant implications for local infrastructure and energy accessibility. By rescheduling the replacement, UGI ensures minimal disruption to the community while maintaining its commitment to infrastructure modernization. The project presents an opportunity for homes and businesses along the route to potentially convert to natural gas service.
This infrastructure upgrade is part of UGI's broader strategy to enhance utility service reliability and efficiency. By systematically replacing aging gas mains, the utility company can improve safety, reduce potential service interruptions, and support community energy needs.
The postponement allows additional time for planning, potential community engagement, and coordination with local authorities. Residents and businesses in the affected area can anticipate more detailed information about the project's specific timeline and potential service conversion opportunities as the 2026 implementation date approaches.
