UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Hazleton on Monday, August 3, 2026. The natural gas main replacement is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for some residents and businesses to convert to natural gas. Work is expected to be completed by the end of September and will impact several streets in the area.
The upgrades aim to modernize the aging infrastructure, reducing the risk of leaks and improving overall system performance. UGI has emphasized that the project is essential for maintaining the integrity of the natural gas distribution network in Hazleton. Residents and businesses on affected streets may have the chance to connect to natural gas for the first time, potentially lowering energy costs and reducing environmental impact compared to other fuels.
Details about the specific streets and any service interruptions can be found in the full announcement. UGI advises customers to watch for construction crews and to follow safety guidelines during the work period. The company will provide updates as the project progresses.
