BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Service has been restored to\u00a0hundreds of residents and several nearby businesses after a\u00a0water main break in Bethlehem.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of residents dealt with low water pressure, and Lehigh University, Northampton Community College’s Fowler Center and Wind Creek were also affected.<\/p>\n

Boscola says 20 residents in the immediate area of the broken pipe had been placed under a precautionary boil water advisory.<\/p>\n

Crews worked to get the gushing water under control overnight.<\/p>\n
