OCA recommends that UGI submit a report on its plans to coordinate with other utilities, agencies and local municipalities that may be planning sewer, water, paving and other utility projects. Disposition In response to Commission Staff data requests TUS-I-2 and TUS-III-1, UGI provides that it performs significant efforts to coordinate operations and maintenance activities with other infrastructure owners including highway agencies, water/sewer authorities, and municipalities. As a registered infrastructure owner in the Pennsylvania One-Call System, UGI asserts it is notified of planned work which may impact utility facilities. As a part of the design and planning process, engineering consulting firms and infrastructure owners utilize Design Notices to provide UGI with advance pre-construction notification of projects which may impact utility infrastructure. In response to Design Notices, UGI conveys that it is alerted to project plans and provides detailed information to support infrastructure coordination efforts. UGI sets forth that Design Notices have proven useful in identifying and resolving potential utility conflicts in advance of field construction. Further, UGI asserts that Design Notices have alerted UGI to projects where accelerated replacement of gas infrastructure afforded the ability to minimize future restoration costs. UGI states that it recently coordinated infrastructure relocations with United American Water on a project along Second Street in Wormleysburg. UGI indicates that it also coordinates operation and maintenance activity with water and sewer entities. UGI states that water and sewer issues may create the potential for subsidence or creation of sink-holes, which can remove the support for
