UGI Utilities Inc. is targeting Harrisburg and Lancaster
for 2015 infrastructure replacement projects, the company said Tuesday.
The natural gas supplier is planning to replace more than
62 miles of cast iron and bare steel pipelines at a cost of more than $85
million, it said in a press release.
Projects in Harrisburg areas include:
·
The 3000-3200 blocks of Green Street and the 200
block of Edward Street
·
The first block of North and South 4th Street
and the 400 block of Walnut Street
·
The 100-600 blocks of North Front Street
(Strawberry to North Street)
·
The 1600-1700 blocks of Elm, Walnut, Disbrow and
Carnation Streets
·
The 200-400 blocks of North 2nd Street
·
The 1800-2000 blocks of Zarker Street
UGI is also planning to replace a stretch of pipeline on
North 6th Street in Susquehanna Township between Linglestown Road and Houser
Road, it said.
Lancaster pipelines slated for improvement include:
·
The first block to 300 block of East King Street
(Queen to Plum Street)
·
The first block to 300 block of West King Street
(Charlotte to Queen Street)
·
The 500-700 blocks of East King Street (Ann to
Reservoir Street)
·
The 600-1000 blocks of Manor Street (New Dorwart
Avenue to West End Avenue)
The improvements are part of UGI’s $1.2 billion, 30-year
plan to replace all noncontemporary pipelines with newer materials such as
high-density plastic and protected steel, it said. The work also includes
“regular” capital project work, such as service line and meter replacements and
regulator station improvements.
“UGI remains committed to enhancing the safety and
reliability of our infrastructure,” Hans Bell, UGI vice president of
engineering, said in the news release. “These infrastructure projects continue
our commitment to ensure that our system provides safe and reliable service for
our customers, and for the many communities we serve.”
The projects could affect traffic and parking while
underway, UGI warned.
