City of Bloomington Utilities issues Precautionary Boil Water Advisory for 19 addresses

Bloomington, Indiana – Workers from the City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) will be fixing a water main at Davis Street, Highland Avenue, Southdowns Drive, and Eagleson Avenue on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. On Wednesday, January 3, 2024, from about 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., 19 addresses will be without water, and until otherwise advised, there will be a precautionary boil water advisory in effect until 5:00 p.m.

Contact 812-339-1444 or bloomington.in.gov/utilities for addresses and more information.

When the water main’s pressure falls below 20 psi, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) mandates that all public water utilities issue a precautionary boil water advisory.

Those who are impacted should adhere to the following guidelines:

• 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.

Consumers who subscribe to the Monroe County Alert will receive an alert right away.
