UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Lyons Borough, Berks County on Monday, July 20, 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 announcement, made on July 20, 2026, details that the upgrades are part of ongoing efforts to modernize infrastructure. UGI Utilities, a natural gas and electric utility company serving more than 760,000 customers, emphasizes that these improvements are essential for maintaining system integrity and meeting customer needs.
Residents and businesses along the project route may have the opportunity to switch to natural gas, which could offer cost savings and environmental benefits. Natural gas is often considered a cleaner-burning fossil fuel compared to coal or oil, and converting can reduce a property's carbon footprint.
The project underscores UGI's dedication to investing in its infrastructure. For more information about UGI Utilities and its services, visit www.ugi.com.
