UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Oxford Borough, Chester County on Tuesday, July 21, 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 upgrades will involve replacing and modernizing existing infrastructure to improve the overall reliability of the natural gas distribution system. This proactive maintenance helps prevent future service interruptions and ensures that customers continue to receive consistent energy delivery. According to UGI, the project aligns with the company’s long-term strategy to invest in its network and meet growing energy demands in the region.
For properties along the project route, the upgrades present a chance to switch to natural gas, which is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than other heating fuels. UGI encourages eligible customers to consider conversion, which may include incentives or assistance programs. More details about the project and conversion opportunities can be found on UGI’s website at www.ugi.com.
UGI Utilities, Inc. is a natural gas and electric utility company that serves more than 760,000 customers. The company emphasizes its dedication to safety and reliability in all its operations.

As UGI proceeds with the work, it will coordinate with local authorities and contractors to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. The upgrades are expected to be completed within a few weeks, weather permitting. UGI will provide updates through local media and its website as the project progresses.
