HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) will hold a series of in-person and telephonic hearings in early-June to gather public input on the proposed rate increase requested by UGI Utilities Inc. – Electric Division (UGI Electric). UGI Electric provides electric distribution services to approximately 63,000 customers in Luzerne and Wyoming counties.
On March 27, 2026, UGI Electric filed a request to increase annual overall revenue by nearly $17.3 million (about 11.9%). On April 16, 2026, the PUC voted to suspend and investigate the company’s request which as proposed would result in the total monthly bill for a residential customer, using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month, increasing from $200.50 to $226.23 (12.8%).
A final decision by the Commission on this rate increase request is due by Jan. 1, 2027.

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the following schedule of maintenance activities in McKean County the week of June 1. PennDOT performs year-round maintenance in its mission to provide a safe, efficient transportation system, and the scope of work in McKean County for the coming week is as follows:
Patching
Most permanent pothole patching is completed in spring or summer when temperatures stay consistently above freezing. Manual patching consists of filling potholes with warm mix asphalt using a shovel. It is then leveled and compacted. Mechanized patching consists of milling paving notches, cleaning the surface, applying tack to all edges to act as a glue. A paver then places warm mix into the milled paving notches, and a roller compacts the material. If patching was not performed, the damaged road surface would deteriorate further, and PennDOT would need to completely rebuild the road or perform more costly corrective measures.
Pipe Replacement & Cleaning
