UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Pittston on Monday, August 17, 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.
The upgrades are part of UGI’s ongoing infrastructure improvement program, which aims to modernize the natural gas distribution system in the area. By replacing aging mains, UGI intends to enhance the safety and reliability of its service, reducing the potential for leaks and service interruptions. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining the integrity of the utility network and ensuring that customers receive consistent, high-quality service.
For residents and businesses in the affected areas, the system upgrades also present a unique opportunity to connect to natural gas. Converting to natural gas can offer numerous benefits, including lower energy costs, increased efficiency, and a reduced environmental footprint compared to other fossil fuels. UGI encourages interested parties to take advantage of this chance to make the switch, as it may not be available again in the near future.
The project will involve the replacement of natural gas mains in specific sections of Pittston. While the work may cause temporary disruptions, UGI has planned the upgrades to minimize inconvenience to the community. The company will work closely with local authorities and residents to ensure that the project proceeds smoothly and with as little impact as possible.
