UGI Utilities is scheduled to begin a system upgrade project on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, that will impact Womelsdorf Borough. The natural gas main replacement is part of UGI’s commitment to provide safe and reliable service and is an opportunity for residents and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
The project, which is set to start tomorrow, involves replacing existing natural gas mains to improve the infrastructure and ensure continued safe and reliable service for customers in the area. This upgrade is a proactive measure by UGI to modernize its gas distribution system, reducing the potential for leaks and service interruptions.
For residents and business owners along the project route, this presents a significant opportunity. Those who are not currently connected to natural gas will have the chance to convert, potentially lowering their energy costs and reducing their carbon footprint compared to other fossil fuels. Natural gas is a cleaner-burning fuel, and the availability of this service could be a major benefit for the community.
The project will involve construction activities that may cause temporary disruptions, such as road closures or traffic delays. UGI urges the public to be aware of the work zones and to exercise caution when traveling near the construction areas. The company will work to minimize inconvenience and complete the project as efficiently as possible.
UGI Utilities, Inc. is a natural gas and electric utility company that serves more than 760,000 customers.

This investment in local infrastructure is a positive development for Womelsdorf Borough, as it enhances the area's attractiveness for residents and businesses alike.
Residents and business owners along the project route are encouraged to consider the benefits of natural gas conversion. The opportunity to switch to natural gas can lead to long-term savings and a more reliable energy source. UGI will provide more details to affected customers as the project progresses.
The project is expected to be completed in phases, with specific timelines to be communicated to the public. UGI's commitment to safe and reliable service is evident in this undertaking, and the company looks forward to serving the Womelsdorf Borough community for years to come.
