UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrade project on Monday, August 31, 2026, that will impact sections of both Lancaster City and Lancaster Township. The natural gas main replacement is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for residents and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The project involves replacing existing natural gas mains with new, modern infrastructure. This upgrade is essential to maintain the integrity of the gas distribution system and to ensure continued safe and reliable service for customers in the area. According to UGI, the work will be conducted in phases to minimize disruption to the community, and areas affected will see temporary changes in traffic patterns and access.
Residents and businesses along the project route will have the opportunity to connect to natural gas if they are not already using it. This could provide a cost-effective and efficient energy option for many. UGI encourages those interested to take advantage of this chance, as converting to natural gas can offer numerous benefits, including lower energy costs and a reduced environmental footprint compared to other fossil fuels.
The project is part of UGI’s ongoing efforts to modernize its infrastructure and uphold its commitment to safety and reliability. UGI Utilities, Inc. is a natural gas and electric utility company that serves more than 760,000 customers. Additional information about UGI Utilities, Inc. is available at www.ugi.com.
