BLOOMINGTON– On Monday, July 22, 2024, City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) crews were dispatched to repair a broken drinking water main at the West Allen Street and South Madison Street intersection.
Unless otherwise notified, three addresses are under a precautionary Boil Water Advisory until 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. Please find specific addresses and more information at bloomington.in.gov/utilities.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) requires all public water systems to issue a precautionary Boil Water Advisory when the pressure drops below 20 psi in the water main. Those affected should follow these instructions:
- Immediately after your normal water pressure is restored, run COLD water from a sink or tub until clear water flows from the faucet.
- Boil all water used for drinking, cooking, and oral hygiene for at least 5 minutes before consumption.
- It is not necessary to boil water for other uses.
