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 upgrades are essential for maintaining the integrity of the natural gas infrastructure in the region. UGI Utilities, which serves more than 760,000 customers, consistently invests in system improvements to prevent outages and enhance safety.

Residents and businesses along the project route may have the option to convert to natural gas, which is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than other fuel sources. The company encourages eligible customers to take advantage of this opportunity during the construction phase. The full announcement, including details on the project area and contact information, is available here.
UGI Utilities has a strong track record of completing such projects with minimal disruption to the community. However, temporary road closures and traffic delays are expected in some areas. Customers with questions about the upgrades or natural gas conversion can contact UGI’s customer service line. The company emphasizes that the work is scheduled to proceed as planned, weather permitting.
This initiative is part of UGI's broader strategy to modernize its utility infrastructure across Pennsylvania. By upgrading aging pipelines and expanding natural gas access, UGI aims to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. The company has been recognized for its commitment to safety and reliability, and these upgrades are a continuation of that mission.
