UGI Utilities is set to start system upgrades in Jersey Shore Borough, Lycoming County on Monday, July 20, 2026. The project, announced on July 17, 2026, is part of UGI's ongoing commitment to provide safe and reliable service to its customers. The upgrades will also create an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The work will involve improvements to the existing natural gas infrastructure, ensuring that the system can meet current and future demands. UGI Utilities, which serves more than 760,000 customers as a natural gas and electric utility company, regularly undertakes such projects to maintain and enhance its service reliability.
Residents and businesses in the affected areas may experience temporary service interruptions or traffic disruptions during the construction period. UGI has stated that it will make every effort to minimize inconvenience and complete the work efficiently. For more details about the project, including maps and specific timelines, UGI directs customers to the full announcement available at www.ugi.com.
This upgrade is part of a broader initiative to modernize natural gas systems in Pennsylvania, reflecting UGI's dedication to safety and customer satisfaction. The conversion opportunity for natural gas is particularly significant for homes and businesses that currently rely on other energy sources, as natural gas is often a more cost-effective and cleaner-burning option.
UGI encourages property owners along the project route to consider the benefits of natural gas conversion, which can include lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact. The company will provide information and support to those interested in making the switch.
The project is scheduled to begin next week and will proceed in phases. UGI will communicate directly with affected customers regarding any necessary service adjustments. For updates, customers can contact John Mason at (610) 334-7135 or via email at jmason@ugi.com.
As UGI moves forward with these upgrades, the company reaffirms its commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and affordable energy to its customers. The Jersey Shore Borough project is a testament to that ongoing effort.
