UGI Utilities announced today that it will begin system upgrades in Oxford Borough, Chester County, starting Tuesday, July 21, 2026. The initiative underscores UGI's commitment to delivering safe and reliable natural gas service to its customers. As part of the project, some homes and businesses along the route will have the opportunity to convert to natural gas.
The upgrades are designed to modernize the existing infrastructure, ensuring continued service reliability for the community. According to UGI, the work will involve replacing or upgrading sections of the gas distribution system. The company stated that these improvements are essential to meet growing demand and maintain the integrity of the network.
Residents and business owners in the affected areas will be notified in advance about the construction schedule and any potential service interruptions. UGI emphasized that it will work to minimize disruptions and complete the project as efficiently as possible. The company also reminded customers to call 811 before digging to have underground utilities marked, as excavation work will be part of the upgrade process.
The project presents an opportunity for some properties along the route to connect to natural gas for the first time. UGI encourages eligible customers to consider converting, noting that natural gas is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than other fuels. More information about the conversion process is available on UGI's website at www.ugi.com.
