UGI Utilities, Inc. is scheduled to begin a natural gas main replacement project in Stroudsburg on Tuesday, September 2, as part of its commitment to enhance safety and reliability. The system upgrades also present an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The underground work will take place on Scott Street between North Ninth Street and Bell Terrace, as well as on Bell Terrace. Construction is planned Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Drivers, residents, and business owners should anticipate road closures, detours, and parking restrictions. There will be some interruptions to natural gas service, requiring UGI to access properties to inspect and relight equipment. The installation of the new natural gas main is expected to be completed by the end of September, though the completion date may change due to weather and working conditions. Final paving and restoration will occur later.
UGI encourages anyone interested in converting to natural gas to contact the company at 800-276-2722 or gasconversion@ugi.com. More information about UGI Utilities, Inc., which serves more than 760,000 customers, is available at www.ugi.com.
