Emmaus

Emmaus is a borough in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania that is home to about 11,500 people. Nestled on the northern slope of South Mountain, Emmaus is a quaint historic community where many have chosen to be their home. It lies 50 miles north of Philadelphia and 20 miles west of the Delaware River. Formed in 1759 as a closed Moravian village on land owned by the church, Emmaus became incorporated as a Pennsylvania borough a hundred years later in 1859. Arrival of the railroad in the same year expanded the town’s opportunity for manufacturing and other business. Its initial industries included iron mining, iron furnaces, a foundry and a machine company. In the late 1800’s, additional industries included silk manufacturing, cigar factories, bottling companies and others. Today, Emmaus is a vibrant community with a diverse mix of residential, commercial, and light industrial uses. It is a hub of productivity in southwestern Lehigh County that offers a variety of housing opportunities in a true community atmosphere. In 2007 and 2009, Emmaus has been listed as one of the top 100 “Best Places to Live” in the United States by Money magazine. The borough has been given many awards, including the Delaware Valley Green Building Council’s Sustainable Community Award.

For a community that so values sustainability and the impact on the environment, propane is the best option to power Emmaus. Safe for both the environment and for the family, propane is a great way to power a home. Examples of residential propane could range from anything from powering the stove to cook a meal, to warming up the hot water tank for a steamy shower.
