UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Jersey Shore Borough, Lycoming County on Monday, July 20, 2026. The work is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The upgrades are essential for maintaining the integrity of UGI's infrastructure, which serves more than 760,000 customers across its natural gas and electric utility operations. By investing in these system improvements, UGI aims to reduce the risk of service interruptions and enhance overall safety for residents and businesses in the area.
According to the announcement, the project will focus on specific sections of the borough, allowing certain properties to connect to natural gas for the first time. This conversion could offer economic and environmental benefits, as natural gas is often more affordable and produces fewer emissions compared to other fossil fuels. Property owners interested in conversion will need to consult with UGI for eligibility and installation details.
