UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a natural gas main replacement project in Womelsdorf Borough on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. The project, part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service, will involve upgrading the natural gas distribution system along the project route. This infrastructure improvement is expected to enhance service reliability for existing customers and provide an opportunity for residents and businesses along the route to convert to natural gas.
The system upgrade is a significant investment in the local community, reflecting UGI’s ongoing efforts to modernize its infrastructure. By replacing aging gas mains, UGI aims to reduce the risk of leaks and improve overall system performance. The project will also enable new customers to connect to natural gas, which is often a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy option compared to other fuels.
Residents and businesses in the project area who are interested in converting to natural gas are encouraged to learn more about the benefits and the process. Natural gas offers a reliable energy source for heating, cooking, and other applications, and with this upgrade, the infrastructure will be in place to support new connections. UGI will work closely with customers to ensure a smooth transition for those who choose to convert.
The project is expected to cause some temporary disruptions, such as road closures or traffic delays, but UGI will make every effort to minimize inconvenience. Customers along the route will be notified in advance of any service interruptions. UGI emphasizes that safety is its top priority, and crews will follow strict safety protocols throughout the project.
For more information about the project, including the specific route and timeline, residents and businesses can visit UGI’s website at www.ugi.com. The website provides updates and details on ongoing projects, as well as information on converting to natural gas.
