PEOPLE POSING AS CITY WATER EMPLOYEES
The City of Bethlehem’s
Water and Sewer Resources Department is issuing this advisory
for the benefit of its customers. Employees working for the
department are required to wear photo identification cards.
Residents should demand to see this card from anyone claiming
to be from the Water and Sewer Resources Department. If the
person cannot produce the card, the resident should call their
local police.
Water and Sewer Resources Department
employees must drive city-owned vehicles while on duty. These
vehicles have prominent city lettering, logos, and vehicle
numbers. If anyone claiming to be from the Water and Sewer
Resources Department does not have a city vehicle, residents
should notify their local police.
It is unusual for Water and
Sewer Resources Department employees to need to enter a property;
furthermore, it is extremely rare for employees to show up
unannounced at a residential property. Normally, if a property
must be entered, arrangements will be made in advance by phone
with the property owner.
If residents have any
doubts about someone claiming to be an employee of the Water
and Sewer Resources Department, they should notify their local
police. Bethlehem Water and Sewer customers with questions
about this issue are encouraged to call the Water and Sewer
Resources Customer Service Office Department at 610-865-7070
or 610-865-7071.
