UGI Venting Natural Gas as Part of Construction Project

Reading, PA (December 16, 2011) – UGI Penn Natural Gas is currently upgrading a natural gas line that runs from Shickshinny to Hunlock Creek.

As part of this process, UGI is venting natural gas from the line into the atmosphere. As a result, the odor of natural gas is prevalent in the area. Venting occurred last night and is occurring again for several hours today.

UGI Penn Natural Gas is a wholly owned subsidiary of UGI Utilities, Inc. UGI Penn Natural Gas serves approximately 158,000 customers in 13 counties throughout northeastern and central Pennsylvania, including customers in and around Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Williamsport.
