UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrades project in the City of Lancaster and Lancaster Township on Monday, May 11, 2026. The work is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity 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 September and impact the following streets:
Union Street from Hershey Avenue to Fairview Avenue
South Pearl Street between Union Street and Wabank Road
Hershey Avenue from Manor Street to Union Street
Intersection of Manor Street and Hershey Avenue
Saint Joseph Street between Hershey Avenue and Prospect Street
Construction is scheduled Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00am and 5:00pm. Drivers will experience traffic and parking restrictions during construction hours. There will be some interruptions to natural gas service that will require UGI to have access to properties to inspect and relight equipment. Also, customers with natural gas meters that are inside, will likely have those meters moved to an outside location.
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.
