This data set contains data and maps related to the status of the Brighten B-town initiative.

The “Brighten B-town” initiative is a partnership among three City departments -- Parks and Recreation, Utilities, and Public Works -- representing a methodical, internally-coordinated and geographically-targeted delivery of upkeep and maintenance services designed for greater efficiency and more visible results. Spanning services the City regularly delivers over the course of the year -- including landscaping, painting, pruning and street cleaning -- the pilot program establishes an order for simultaneous delivery of those services to specified City zones, so that each zone will receive comprehensive attention within a discrete period.

The Animal Care & Control Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for addressing and responding to all companion animal needs in the community through education, enforcement and support in order to build a community where people value animals and treat them with kindness and respect.

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.

Two disinfectant byproducts (DBPs), Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and Haloacedic Acids (HAA5s) are regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act through the Stage 2 Disinfectant Byproduct Rule. The City of Bloomington Utilities collects samples for DBPs monthly 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 Levels are 80 µg/l for TTHMs and 60 µg/l for HAA5s. 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.
