A boil water advisory in Hellertown was lifted after water tests confirmed safety following a main line break and power outage.

A boil water advisory in Hellertown, Northampton County, has been lifted after a main water line break caused disruptions and required emergency testing. The advisory, initially issued due to a loss of positive pressure in the water system, was extended over the weekend because a power outage delayed testing at the laboratory. After new samples were collected and analyzed, officials confirmed the water met Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection standards. The borough apologized for the inconvenience and thanked residents for their patience. Tap water is now safe to use without boiling.
