Happy Halloween from City of Bloomington Utilities!
A quick reminder this spooky season: keep wipes, candy wrappers, and other debris out of toilets and drains. They're nightmares for our wastewater pipes and plants.

The cold is here. If you have a lawn sprinkler or irrigation system, now is the time to flush the lines and winterize your backflow preventer.
Backflow preventers protect our drinking water, so they must be tested yearly by a certified professional. More info: bloomington.in.gov/utilities/backflow
