                        Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-124474

Dear Mr. Owings:

Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, UGI
Utilities, Inc. ("UGI Utilities") hereby requests acceleration of the effective
date of the above-referenced registration statement so that the registration
statement may become effective at 9:00 am on Monday June 27, 2005, or as soon as
practicable thereafter.

In connection with this request, UGI Utilities acknowledges that:

- -  should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or the
   staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective,
   it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to
   the filing;

- -  the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
   authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve UGI Utilities
   from its full responsibility for adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in
   the filing; and

- -  UGI Utilities may not assert staff comments and the declaration of
   effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or
   any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
