UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Quakertown Borough and Richland Township on Monday, June 22, 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 announcement, made June 17, 2026, details that the upgrades are essential for maintaining the integrity of the natural gas infrastructure. By proactively replacing and upgrading equipment, UGI aims to prevent service interruptions and enhance safety for its customers.

For properties along the project route, the upgrades present a chance to connect to natural gas, which can offer cost savings and environmental benefits compared to other heating fuels. UGI encourages eligible homeowners and businesses to consider conversion, noting that natural gas is a clean-burning and efficient energy source.
