UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrade project in Carbondale on Monday, March 23, 2026. The work is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and provides opportunities for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas. The announcement, made on March 20, 2026, highlights the company's ongoing efforts to modernize its infrastructure. For more details, the full announcement is available at UGI Utilities.
The project underscores the importance of natural gas as a cleaner-burning fuel compared to other fossil fuels, offering potential cost savings and environmental benefits for residents and businesses that choose to switch. UGI Utilities, which serves more than 760,000 customers, has a history of investing in infrastructure upgrades to enhance reliability. This specific initiative in Carbondale is expected to improve the local energy grid and support economic development by providing access to natural gas for more properties.
Residents and business owners along the project route are encouraged to consider the conversion, which can be facilitated through UGI's programs. The company has not specified the exact timeline for the upgrades beyond the start date, but such projects typically involve trenching, pipe installation, and meter setups. Safety measures will be in place to minimize disruption. For additional information, customers can contact John Mason at (610) 334-7135 or via email at jmason@ugi.com.
