UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Quakertown Borough and Richland Township on Monday, June 22, 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.
These upgrades are essential for maintaining the integrity of the local natural gas infrastructure. By proactively replacing aging components and modernizing the system, UGI aims to reduce the risk of service interruptions and improve overall efficiency. The project will involve the installation of new natural gas mains and service lines, which will benefit residents and businesses in the affected areas.
For eligible customers along the project route, the upgrades present a unique opportunity to convert to natural gas. Natural gas is a clean-burning fuel that can provide cost-effective heating and cooking options. Homeowners and business owners interested in conversion should contact UGI to determine eligibility and learn about potential incentives.
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.
Residents and businesses in the project area may experience temporary road closures or traffic disruptions during construction. UGI advises motorists to use caution in work zones and follow posted detour signs. The company will work to minimize inconveniences and complete the upgrades as quickly as possible.
