ATTENTION: CITY
OF BETHLEHEM WATER CUSTOMERS – ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Customers in
the Lehigh Valley Industrial Park I area bordered
by Avenue C, Airport Road, Schoenersville Road Industrial
Drive, and City Line Road may experience discolored
water between August 31st and September 10th due to
routine distribution main flushing which is necessary
for proper maintenance of our system.
If you have discolored
water, shut off the water and do not use again for
2 to 4 hours. Only run the cold water for 5 minutes
at a time when checking to see if it has cleared.
Running your water will not clear up the discolored
water any faster. This will avoid pulling more discolored
water into your internal piping system and also avoid
high water usage water bills.
We thank you for
your patience during this scheduled maintenance.

New zoning ordinance
The goal of Bethlehem's
new zoning ordinance is to encourage appropriate development
in the city's core while maintaining developed neighborhoods
and protecting environmentally-sensitive areas.
The next step for the
new zoning ordinance is seeking input from the public,
including environmental, preservation and neighborhood
groups and the business community. The ordinance must
be reviewed by the Planning Commission before going
to City Council for final adoption. Please read the
summary
of the new zoning ordinance and review the new
zoning ordinance, the draft
zoning map and the new
zoning presentation. Afterwards, please share
any input or comments you have.
