Despite poor smelling and tasting water in Bethlehem, officials say it is safe to drink.

Wednesday night, the town laid out a timeline for when the issue should be resolved. Unfortunately, they say it is a waiting game.

The only way to get rid of the smell is for all of the old water to be flushed out with the new odorless water. They predict it should be done by early next week.

Officials say they are also trying to develop a more permanent solution that will help keep Bethlehem water safe going forward.
