From May 3 - 9, communities nationwide will celebrate Drinking Water Week. This is an annual observance led by the American Water Works Association and formally recognized by Congress in 1988 and signed by President Ronald Reagan. The week highlights the essential role safe drinking water plays in public health and everyday life.
In Bloomington, the story is one of excellence. The City won a national Best in Glass award in 2016 and three statewide awards in 2015, 2016 and 2024 for the taste of our tap water.
City of Bloomington Utilities provides high quality, safe, reliable drinking water that consistently surpasses all state and federal requirements. Extensive testing by Minnesota State and City laboratories confirms the strength of Bloomington’s water system and the care behind every glass.
During Drinking Water Week, residents are encouraged to learn more about their water and celebrate the professionals who keep it clean, safe and refreshing all year long.
