UGI Utilities announced the start of system upgrades in Sellersville Borough, Bucks County, as part of its ongoing commitment to provide safe and reliable service. The project, which began June 15, 2026, also presents an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas.
According to the company, the upgrades are essential to modernize the natural gas infrastructure in the area, ensuring continued reliability for existing customers while extending service potential to new ones. The work will involve replacing and upgrading pipelines and related equipment to meet current safety and performance standards.
UGI Utilities, Inc., a natural gas and electric utility company serving more than 760,000 customers, emphasized that the project is part of a broader effort to maintain and improve its distribution network. For more information about UGI and its services, visit www.ugi.com.
The project is expected to cause minimal disruptions, with UGI coordinating with local authorities to manage traffic and access during construction. Residents and businesses along the route will receive notifications about the work schedule and any temporary service interruptions.
This upgrade is particularly significant for Sellersville, as it not only enhances the reliability of natural gas service but also offers a cleaner energy option for those currently using other fuels. Natural gas is often praised for its lower carbon emissions compared to coal or oil, making conversions an attractive choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
UGI's investment in Sellersville reflects a trend among utility companies to upgrade aging infrastructure, driven by both safety concerns and the need to support growing energy demands. The company has not disclosed the total cost or completion date for the project but stated that it will be carried out in phases to minimize inconvenience.
