UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrade project in Shamokin Dam Borough on Monday, March 9, 2026. The work is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and provides opportunities for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The installation of the new natural gas main is expected to be completed by early May and impact the following streets:
- 10th Avenue between Spruce Street and Maple Street
- Queen Avenue between Spruce Street and Maple Street
- Spruce Street between Queen Avenue and West 11th Avenue
- West 11th Avenue between Weatherfield Drive and Queen Avenue
- Maple Street between Queen Avenue and West 11th Avenue
- Queen Avenue between Maple Street and West 11th Avenue
- North Susquehanna Trail between West 11th Avenue and 9th Avenue
Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00am and 5:00pm. Drivers, residents, and business owners may experience lane and parking restrictions 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.
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.
