UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrade project on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, that will impact Womelsdorf Borough. 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 to enhance the reliability and safety of the distribution system. This infrastructure upgrade is essential for meeting the growing energy needs of the community and ensuring long-term service integrity. By modernizing the gas lines, UGI aims to reduce the risk of leaks and improve overall system performance, which is critical for public safety and environmental protection.
Residents and business owners in the project area will have the chance to connect to natural gas, a cleaner and more efficient energy source compared to other fossil fuels. This conversion can lead to lower energy costs and reduced carbon emissions, aligning with broader environmental goals. UGI encourages eligible customers to take advantage of this opportunity and contact the company for more information on the conversion process.
The project is expected to cause temporary disruptions, including road closures and intermittent service interruptions, but UGI will work to minimize inconvenience and keep the community informed throughout the construction. The company has a long history of serving the region, with more than 760,000 customers relying on its natural gas and electric services.
For more details about the project, including timelines and specific street impacts, residents can visit UGI's website or contact their customer service. UGI also reminds the public to be cautious around construction zones and to report any suspicious odors or potential gas leaks immediately.
This investment in infrastructure underscores UGI's commitment to providing safe, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions. By upgrading the natural gas system, the company is not only improving service for current customers but also laying the groundwork for future growth and innovation in energy delivery.
