Overview: At the recent Bloomington Port Authority Commission meeting, members deliberated on the issue of the city’s aging sewer infrastructure, which has reached its capacity limits due to increased growth, particularly in multi-family residential areas. The existing sewer system, constructed in the 1950s and 1960s, is unable to support further development in North Central and South Central Bloomington without significant improvements, estimated at $55 million. To address these constraints and support continued growth, a strategic plan involving a mix of fees, rate increases, and potential grants was proposed.
