UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrade project on Monday, August 31, 2026, that will impact sections of both Lancaster City and Lancaster Township. The natural gas main replacement is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for residents and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.

By investing in these upgrades, UGI aims to minimize service disruptions and ensure that customers continue to receive dependable energy.
Residents and businesses located along the project route will have the chance to connect to natural gas, potentially benefiting from lower energy costs and a cleaner-burning fuel source. This conversion opportunity is particularly significant for those who currently rely on other energy sources such as oil or propane.
