UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Lyons Borough, Berks County on Monday, July 20, 2026. The work, announced by the company on July 20, 2026, is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and presents an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The upgrades, which are part of ongoing infrastructure improvements, will focus on enhancing the natural gas distribution system in the area. UGI Utilities, a natural gas and electric utility company serving more than 760,000 customers, has emphasized that this project is essential for maintaining system integrity and meeting future demand. The company has not disclosed the specific scope of work or the duration of the project, but similar upgrades typically involve replacing or upgrading pipelines and related equipment.
Residents and businesses along the project route may have the chance to convert to natural gas if they are not already connected. Natural gas is often preferred for its efficiency and lower emissions compared to other fossil fuels. UGI has encouraged property owners to consider the benefits, which may include cost savings and environmental advantages.
The announcement was made through a press release distributed by Reportable, Inc., and additional information can be found on UGI’s website at www.ugi.com. For further details, the company has provided contact information for John Mason at (610) 334-7135 or jmason@ugi.com, though such contact details are typically for media inquiries.
This system upgrade is a routine but critical part of UGI’s efforts to ensure the safety and reliability of its gas distribution network. As the work progresses, UGI will likely provide updates to affected customers and the community. The company serves a broad customer base across Pennsylvania and has a history of investing in infrastructure to support growth and safety.
