UPPER SAUCON TOWNSHIP, Pa. \u2014 Some residents in Upper Saucon Township, Lehigh County, are under a boil-water advisory after a water main broke Thursday.<\/p>\n
The advisory covers Upper Saucon Water customers on Camp Meeting Road (from East Valley to South Saucon Avenue), Village Drive, Friedens Lane and Harvest Court, according to a notice from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).<\/p>\n
The advisory will be lifted once tests on water samples come back clean, Upper Saucon Township Water and Sewer Department Director Patrick Lambert said.<\/p>\n
The DEP said a section of pipe had to be removed and replaced on Camp Meeting Road after Thursday’s main break.<\/p>\n
The main break caused a loss of water pressure, which could indicate the water may contain disease-causing organisms, the DEP said. The DEP said the organisms include bacteria, viruses and parasites, which can cause nausea, cramps, diarrhea and headaches.<\/p>\n
You can call the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 for general guidelines on reducing the risk of infection.<\/p>\n
Do not drink the water without boiling it first. The DEP said customers should bring water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, then cool it before using, or use bottled water.<\/p>\n
The DEP said customers should use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and food preparation until further notice.<\/p>\n
