The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has determined that within a certain area designated as the Aquifer Non-Use Area (“ANUA”) the ground water may contain chemical constituents which preclude its safe use for domestic, potable or agricultural water supply. A portion of the ANUA is within the service area of the public water system of the City of Bethlehem. The Township wishes to establish restrictions and procedures to prevent the extraction of ground water and require the use of the public water system for domestic, potable and agricultural supply for all land located within the ANUA.
