UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrade project on Monday, August 31, 2026, that will impact sections of both Lancaster City and Lancaster Township. The natural gas main replacement is part of UGI's commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for residents and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The project involves replacing aging natural gas mains with new, more reliable infrastructure. This proactive measure aims to reduce the risk of leaks and service interruptions, ensuring that customers continue to receive dependable energy. The work will be conducted in phases to minimize disruption to the community, with crews working efficiently to complete the upgrade as quickly as possible.
Residents and businesses along the project route will have the unique opportunity to connect to natural gas if they are not already using it. 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.
