UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Hazleton on Monday, August 3, 2026. The natural gas main replacement is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for some residents and businesses to convert to natural gas. Work is expected to be completed by the end of September and impact the following streets. For the full list of streets, please refer to the official announcement available at www.ugi.com.
The upgrades are critical for maintaining the integrity of the natural gas infrastructure in the area. Aging pipelines can lead to leaks and service interruptions, so replacing them ensures continued safe delivery of natural gas to homes and businesses. Additionally, the project opens the door for residents currently using other energy sources to connect to natural gas, which is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than oil or propane.
UGI Utilities, Inc. serves more than 760,000 customers and is known for its focus on safety and reliability. This project aligns with the company’s broader efforts to modernize its infrastructure across Pennsylvania. Residents and businesses on the affected streets should expect temporary disruptions but will benefit from long-term improved service.
