FAQ for Main Lower South Water System Public Notice – October 2026
BCWSA works diligently to deliver the highest quality drinking water to its customers. We invest in replacing and upgrading aging infrastructure and continuously make improvements to ensure that we meet upcoming water regulations. Sometimes circumstances beyond our control may affect the quality of the drinking water. One such situation occurred in the Solebury Water System and a public notice was issued.
Boil Water Advisory Lifted
Some customers of BCWSA located on Oak Avenue and a section of Bellevue Avenue in Langhorne were notified to boil their water before using it due to a main break that occurred on July 11, 2026. We are pleased to report that the main break was repaired, and all laboratory tests have been completed and show that there is no bacteria in the water. It is no longer necessary to boil your water.
Boil Water Advisory
On Saturday, July 11, 2026, BCWSA experienced a main break on Bellevue Avenue in Langhorne. During this, there was a loss of positive water pressure. This is a signal of the existence of conditions that could allow contamination to enter the distribution system through back-flow by back-pressure or back-siphonage. As a result, there is an increased chance that the water may contain disease-causing organisms. Customers in this area of the water system may be at increased risk from microbial contamination.
