From Bethlehem Water and Sewer Resources Director Ed Boscola: The City of Bethlehem has been receiving dirty water calls over the past couple of weeks from several areas in our service territory but primarily in the northern areas of the City and Hanover Township. We are investigating the cause(s) but believe it may be due to a few recent water main breaks in the City which can stir up silt particles in the piping and can take several days to work its way through the system and settle down. The water remains safe to consume and there are no boil water advisories in effect.
Customers should cold water intermittently (not hot water if it can be avoided) to see if it eventually clears and to NOT run it continuously.
Running faucets continuously just brings in more sediment from the main into your home. Running hot water brings sediment into your hot water heater.
Customers should use their best judgment when using water for cooking and cleaning.
We'll keep you apprised of updates.
Regards,
Edward J. Boscola, PE

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
One way to increase your water bill.
