UGI Utilities is set to commence natural gas main replacement upgrades in Pittston on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. This initiative is part of the company's ongoing commitment to delivering safe and reliable service to its customers. The project will involve replacing existing natural gas mains with new, more durable infrastructure, which is expected to improve the overall reliability of the gas distribution system in the area.
The upgrades are a significant investment in the local community's infrastructure. By replacing aging mains, UGI aims to reduce the likelihood of service interruptions and enhance safety for residents and businesses. The project also aligns with UGI's broader efforts to modernize its utility network across the regions it serves.
Importantly, this project presents an opportunity for eligible residents and businesses in the Pittston area to convert to natural gas service. For those who are not currently connected to the natural gas system, this upgrade could provide a chance to take advantage of the benefits of natural gas, which is often a cost-effective and cleaner-burning energy source compared to other fossil fuels. UGI encourages interested parties to reach out to learn more about eligibility and the conversion process.
