UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in two Lancaster County communities on April 1. The work in East Hempfield Township and Manor Township 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 the end of July and impact the following streets:
- Albright Avenue from Temple Avenue to Columbia Avenue
- Columbia Avenue (Route 462) between Colgate Avenue and Yale Avenue
- Temple Avenue from Albright Avenue to Millersville Road
- Dickinson Avenue between Temple Avenues
- Intersection of Millersville Road (Route 741) and Temple 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.
