Fire hydrant maintenance will continue through the week of Aug. 27 in various new locations. Residents' water in certain areas may be affected.
According to a press release from City of Bloomington Utilities, crews will perform routine maintenance on fire hydrants within the boundaries of East Second Street, east of State Road 446, East Miller Drive and South Walnut Street during the week. Signage will indicate affected areas on the day the maintenance takes place.
Hydrant maintenance began in July, according to City of Bloomington Utilites' Facebook page.
