Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO) are releases of untreated sewage into the environment. City of Bloomington Utilities Department records and maintains data for all SSO events that occur within Bloomington's wastewater collection and treatment system. Additionally, each event is reported to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) are regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act through the Stage 2 Disinfectant Byproduct Rule. The City of Bloomington Utilities collects monthly samples at 8 testing locations throughout the distribution system and follows a quarterly compliance schedule. Compliance is calculated on a Locational Running Annual Average (LRAA). The Maximum Contaminant Level for TTHMs is 80 µg/l. Micrograms per liter (µg/l) is equal to parts per billion (ppb). One part per billion is roughly equal to a teaspoon of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool.

The City of Bloomington conducted a survey to assess digital equity issues in our community as the first step in the development of a Digital Equity Strategic Plan. The survey was sent to a randomized sample of 6500 Bloomington households in April 2020 and was completed by 1080 respondents. Results of the scientific survey have been collected and are being analyzed with the goal of improving internet accessibility and affordability for Bloomington residents.

Taste and odor issues with drinking water stem from the presence of the organic compounds known as methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin. These two compounds are not harmful to human health. Rather, the presence of MIB and geosmin negatively affect the drinking water's aesthetics (geosmin causes an earthy smell, while MIB causes a musty taste). Taste and odor thresholds vary from person to person, but normally geosmin can be detected as low as 7-15 parts per trillion, while MIB can be detected as low as 20-30 parts per trillion.
