City of Bloomington Utilities Issues Precautionary Boil Water Advisory

(BLOOMINGTON) – City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) is repairing a water main break on East Ramp Creek Road. Some customers of CBU are temporarily disconnected from water service.

When the water returns, those customers will be under a precautionary Boil Water Advisory.

Unless otherwise notified, the precautionary Boil Water Advisory will be lifted at 10 a.m. on Sunday, September 22.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) requires all public water systems to issue a Boil Water Advisory when the pressure drops below 20 psi in the water main.

Those affected should follow the instructions below:

  • Immediately after your normal water pressure is restored, run COLD water from a sink or tub until clear water flows from the faucet. 
  • Boil drinking water for at least 5 minutes prior to consumption.
  • It is recommended that all water used for drinking, cooking, and oral hygiene be brought to a full boil for FIVE minutes. It is not necessary to boil water for other uses.
