Hellertown Borough Authority customers no longer need to boil their water, officials said Tuesday.
Following a main break Thursday, sampling and testing required by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection shows the boil-water advisory can be lifted, authority officials announced.
The borough on Sunday announced a delay in lifting the advisory due to a power outage at its testing lab.
“We apologize for the disruption in your water service and we appreciate our customers’ understanding,” borough officials said Tuesday.
The advisory had alerted customers that due to the loss of positive pressure in portions of the system and in an effort to ensure the highest level of safety, tap water should be boiled for at least one minute prior to consuming or using it for cooking, brushing of teeth and other personal uses.
