UGI Utilities, Inc. is scheduled to begin a natural gas main replacement project in Easton on Wednesday, August 6, as part of its commitment to provide safe and reliable service. The system upgrades also present an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The underground work is expected to be completed by mid-October and will impact travel on North 13th Street between Bushkill Drive and Wood Avenue. Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 5:00pm. Drivers, residents, and business owners may experience road closures, detours, and traffic delays during construction hours. Parking may be restricted on the impacted streets.
There will be some interruptions to natural gas service, requiring UGI to have access to properties to inspect and relight equipment. Weather and working conditions may impact the completion date. After underground work is complete, final paving and restoration will occur at a later date.
UGI encourages anyone interested in converting to natural gas to contact the company at 800-276-2722 or gasconversion@ugi.com. Additional information about UGI Utilities, Inc. is available at www.ugi.com.
