UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin system upgrades in Jersey Shore Borough, Lycoming County on Monday, July 20, 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 essential for maintaining the integrity of the local gas infrastructure. By modernizing the system, UGI aims to reduce the risk of service interruptions and improve overall efficiency. For residents and business owners along the project route, this presents a chance to switch to natural gas, which is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly compared to other heating sources.
“This project reflects our dedication to delivering safe and dependable energy to our customers,” said John Mason, a spokesperson for UGI Utilities. “We encourage eligible property owners to take advantage of the opportunity to connect to natural gas.”

The project in Jersey Shore Borough is part of a broader initiative by UGI to upgrade its distribution network.

For the community, the upgrades mean enhanced safety and reliability, which are paramount for both residential and commercial customers.
