UGI Utilities is set to begin system upgrades in Bethlehem on July 1. The work is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service. This may also be an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The replacement of a gas main will have an impact on the following streets:
- East North Street between Pine Street and Center Street
- Center Street between East North Street and East Raspberry Street
Construction hours are 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday. Parking will also be restricted during construction hours. There will be some interruptions to natural gas service. This will require UGI to have access to properties to inspect and relight equipment.
The underground work is expected to be completed by the end of July. Weather and working conditions could delay completion. 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.
