The City of Bloomington has its eyes on a substantial revamp of its sanitary sewer system, necessitated by an anticipated capacity strain tied to anticipated redevelopment through 2040. With an estimation reaching $55 million for necessary improvements, city officials are soliciting public input on the best pathways for funding the expansive project, as reported by the City of Bloomington
According to the City announcement, the survey seeks to gauge the preferences of Bloomington residents on the matter of funding, whether they lean towards incremental fee increases or a one-time special assessment to cover the costs. This endeavor reflects a broader effort to align with the city's objectives of transparency and civic engagement, which have been outlined in countless community meetings.
Residents desiring more information or wishing to directly voice their opinions can reach out to the point of contact at the City, as stated in their announcement. With the intent to establish a fully participatory process, City official D. Crowell can be contacted via email at [email protected] for further inquiries or contributions to the ongoing public discourse.
