******IMPORTANT WATER SERVICE NOTIFICATION****** City of Bethlehem Water Customers The City of Bethlehem Water and Sewer Resources Department will be completing a critical portion of the construction project located along Willow brook Rd in Hanover Township, Lehigh County North of Lehigh Valley International Airport. This work will begin on Monday September 24th 2018 at 6:00AM and will continue until the work is completed which is estimated to take no longer than two (2) business days In order to complete this work it is necessary to reduce the water pressure in the system, hence you may notice a slight decrease in flow/pressure at your location. In addition, you may experience discoloration of water. If you experience discolored water, once construction has completed, please only run your cold water for five minutes at a time to clear your lines. If the water does not clear during the initial flow, please wait one hour and then run cold water again for an additional ten minutes. Repeat this step until clear, or if the condition last more than four to six hours please contact us and request to have someone dispatched to your location to investigate. Please be advised there will be no boil advisories during this time We take our responsibility to deliver safe, clean drinking water to our customers very seriously and are taking steps to minimize the impact to our customer’s daily activities during this project. Any questions or concerns can be directed to our Water Engineering Department at 610- 865- 7076 or contact our 24/7 Water Control Center at 610-865-7077.
