UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrades project in Womelsdorf Borough and Heidelberg Township on Tuesday, April 28, 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 are designed to modernize the existing infrastructure, ensuring that the natural gas and electric systems meet current safety standards and can support future demand. Residents and business owners in the affected areas may benefit from the potential to switch to natural gas, which is often more cost-effective and efficient than other energy sources.
UGI Utilities, Inc., which serves more than 760,000 customers, emphasizes that the project will minimize disruptions as much as possible. Work crews will be present in the area, and UGI advises the public to exercise caution near construction zones. For more details, the full announcement is available at UGI's website.
The project underscores UGI's ongoing investment in infrastructure to maintain high levels of service reliability. By upgrading aging pipes and equipment, the utility aims to reduce the risk of outages and enhance overall system performance. This initiative is part of a broader effort across the region to improve energy delivery systems.
For homes and businesses along the project route, the opportunity to convert to natural gas could lead to significant savings and environmental benefits. Natural gas burns cleaner than other fossil fuels, producing fewer emissions. UGI encourages eligible customers to inquire about conversion options through their customer service channels.
UGI Utilities reminds the community to stay informed about the project's progress and any temporary traffic changes. The company will provide updates as necessary. For more information, contact John Mason at (610) 334-7135 or via email at jmason@ugi.com.
