UGI Utilities is set to commence system upgrades in Lyons Borough, Berks County, on Monday, July 20, 2026. The project, part of UGI’s ongoing commitment to safe and reliable service, will also provide an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the route to convert to natural gas.
The upgrades are scheduled to begin in the borough, though specific details on the scope and duration of the work were not immediately disclosed. UGI Utilities, which serves more than 760,000 customers, has emphasized that the work is essential for maintaining and improving the local gas infrastructure.
For residents and business owners along the project route, the upgrades could mean access to natural gas conversion—a switch that often offers cost savings and environmental benefits compared to other fuels. However, the announcement did not specify which properties would be eligible or how they could sign up for the conversion.
