UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Quakertown Borough and Richland Township on Monday, June 22, 2026. The project, part of UGI’s commitment to providing safe and reliable service, also offers an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The upgrades come as UGI continues to invest in its infrastructure to meet growing energy demands and improve system resilience. Residents and businesses in the affected areas may experience temporary disruptions during construction, but UGI has stated it will work to minimize inconveniences. The specific scope of the upgrades includes replacing aging pipelines and installing new equipment to enhance capacity and reliability.
For eligible properties, the project presents a chance to switch from other fuel sources to natural gas, which is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. UGI encourages interested customers to visit www.ugi.com for more information on conversion incentives and the project timeline.
UGI Utilities, Inc. is a natural gas and electric utility company serving more than 760,000 customers. This project underscores UGI's ongoing efforts to modernize its network and support local communities. The company has a history of infrastructure improvements, and this initiative aligns with broader industry trends toward upgrading aging utility systems to prevent outages and improve safety.
Local officials have expressed support for the upgrades, noting that reliable energy infrastructure is critical for economic development and quality of life. The project is expected to take several weeks, with completion anticipated by late summer. UGI will provide updates through its website and direct notifications to affected customers.
