Lehigh County community told to boil water before using - lehighvalleylive.com

The Lehigh County Authority on Thursday told customers in North Whitehall Township to boil tap water before using it.

The advisory stemmed from a loss of system pressure during water main repair work in the township, the utility said.

“As a result of this service disruption, we may not be able to achieve proper disinfection of your water system, and there is an increased chance that your water may contain disease-causing organisms,” the authority said. “We are issuing this Boil Water Advisory until 2 days of water quality tests have been completed to ensure no contamination has occurred.”
