The City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) in cooperation with the Indiana Finance Authority is participating in a monitoring program which tests wastewater for coronavirus. From August through December of 2020, wastewater professionals from CBU collected samples three times each week at eight sites across Bloomington, including each of the two wastewater treatment plants. Throughout 2021 samples have been collected from the two wastewater treatment plants. Testing of those samples is conducted by multiple private, independent laboratories in an effort to gauge viral prevalence in the community.

More information about this process can be found in the Indiana Wastewater Monitoring Report 2020 at:

In early 2017, the Bloomington Animal Shelter migrated management software from AnimalShelterNet to Shelter Manager. We attempted to preserve as much information as possible from the old system.

The outcome fields in animal shelter are scattered in multiple fields not just one, for example Dead on arrival, Put to sleep, Movement Type and others are all considered as part of outcome.

Information from the Bloomington Police Department on all calls for service received.

CBU main break data from 2013 to present.

This snapshot dataset lists the parcels included within the areas the City has identified for annexation, as well as required property and ownership information, this dataset was created based on the parcel data at the time, and are not a current view of the properties in the annexation areas.

The City of Bloomington has proposed the annexation of eight developed areas just outside the current municipal boundaries. Although these areas may already be part of the Bloomington community, they are not within the City's municipal boundaries at this time. The proposed annexations will allow everyone in the community to be a part of the same future and provide for a more uniform and efficient local government.

RRF funding aims to fill gaps in immediate working capital for small businesses and nonprofits (including cultural organizations) until they can resume more normal operations. Recipients may or may not have applied for additional funding through Small Business Administration (SBA) loans and other federal disaster relief funding sources. Using $2 million of the City’s share of Food and Beverage Tax funds that the Bloomington Common Council approved for expenditure April 7, plus $500,000 of additional support approved by the Bloomington Urban Enterprise Association on April 8, the City is providing these immediate loans of up to $50,000 each to sustain area businesses in the short term and foster the regional economy.

An advisory committee was appointed by the City of Bloomington to review applications and make recommendations for funding. This committee includes representatives from banking, financial services, and community organizations. Additionally, applicants may seek support on their application by contacting the City of Bloomington at economicvitality@bloomington.in.gov.
