INDIANAPOLIS — The city of Bloomington on Friday released a precautionary water boil advisory effective immediately following a water main break. 

City of Bloomington Utilities crews were dispatched to repair the drinking water main on S. Westhill Ct. 

These 11 addresses will be under a precautionary Boil Water Advisory until noon Saturday January 6, 2024, unless otherwise notified:

1495 W Woodhill Dr

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.

Customers who have signed up for the Monroe County Alert will be alerted directly. Alternatively, CBU customers may refer to the CBU website at bloomington.in.gov/utilities for a list of specific addresses affected.
