Utility Shutoffs

A majority of Bloomington residents who got utility shutoff notices have set up installment plans to avoid losing water service.

Some of the more than 1,300 residents of the Town of Normal who are way behind on water and sewer utility payments, potentially because of the pandemic, have begun to take care of the problem.

Approximately 3,000 Bloomington-Normal residents could be on the verge of losing water service as moratoriums on utility shutoffs are set to expire.

Bloomington residents and business owners won’t face utility shutoffs for past-due bills — at least for the next few weeks, with the Bloomington City Council voting Monday night to reinstate a pandemic-related moratorium until Oct. 1.

The City of Bloomington could restore its moratorium on utility shutoffs, but only for a few weeks. The city council on Monday will consider a request to stop utility shutoffs through the end of September.
