UGI Utilities began a system upgrade project on Monday, October 12, 2026, in Hellertown, Northampton County. 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.
Work is expected to be completed by the end of December and impact the following streets:
• Northampton Street from Easton Road to East Walnut Street
• East Saucon Street from Main Street to Northampton Street
• Spruce Street between Main Street and Northampton Street
• East Walnut Street from Main Street to Northampton Street
Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday from 7am until 5pm. Drivers should expect lane and parking restrictions. There will be some interruptions to natural gas service that will require UGI to have access to properties to inspect and relight equipment.
Weather and working conditions may have an impact on the completion date. After underground work is complete, final paving and restoration will occur later.
UGI encourages anyone interested in converting to natural gas to contact the company at 800-276-2722 or gasconversion@ugi.com.
