BLOOMINGTON– On Friday, March 1, 2024, City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) crews were dispatched to repair a broken drinking water main on E Heritage Woods Rd. Twenty-three addresses will be under a precautionary Boil Water Advisory until noon on Saturday, March 2, 2024, unless otherwise notified. Addresses & more info at bloomington.in.gov/utilities or 812-339-1444.
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 prior to consumption.
- It is not necessary to boil water for other uses.
