Bethlehem water and maintenance crews said the main broke at Third and Hayes streets, near Wind Creek Resort. A Northampton County Emergency Communications supervisor told 69 News it happened just before 5:45 p.m. Monday.
Hundreds of residents dealt with low water pressure, and Lehigh University, Northampton Community College’s Fowler Center and Wind Creek were also affected.
Boscola says 20 residents in the immediate area of the broken pipe had been placed under a precautionary boil water advisory.
Crews worked to get the gushing water under control overnight.
