Due to predicted extreme cold temperatures, UGI Utilities, Inc. has asked natural gas customers in specific communities to consider voluntary conservation through Saturday.

While UGI’s natural gas distribution system is operating normally, UGI is making this request to customers in specific areas of the Company’s service territory out of an abundance of caution.  Communities asked to practice voluntary conservation include:

-- Carlisle, Cumberland County

-- Clark’s Summit, Lackawanna County

-- Easton, Northampton County

-- Jim Thorpe/Lehighton, Carbon County

-- The Greater Millersville area, Lancaster County

-- Palmyra/Campelltown, Lebanon County

-- Renovo, Clinton County

Customers in these communities are asked to consider lowering their thermostats to 65 degrees or lower overnight Thursday through 9 a.m. Friday morning and overnight Friday through 9 a.m. on Saturday morning. This will assist UGI in continuing to maintain system integrity.

Customers with questions or concerns are urged to contact the UGI Call Center at 1-800-276-2722 for additional information.
