Plant/Process Description:
The City's Sam H. Hobbs Water Treatment Plant
treats groundwater from the six deep wells and
then pumps it into the distribution system for
use by residents and businesses.
Bloomington supplements its water supply by
purchasing treated surface water from the City of
Minneapolis because our plant does not have the
capacity to treat and supply all the City's water
needs, especially on hot summer days when demand
rises to its highest. This water is delivered via
a pipe system from the Minneapolis Water Plant to
Bloomington reservoirs where it is then pumped
into the distribution system. All of
Bloomington's water connections receive water
that is a blend of water from our plant and water
from Minneapolis.
The water plant monitors and controls the inflow
of water to the reservoirs and pumping into the
distribution system by utilizing a state-of-the-
art Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) system. This system allows the plant to
monitor and control the pumps and valves that
control the water pipes supplying the reservoir
as well.
Tests are conducted on water during the treatment
process, as it enters the distribution system,
and on samples routinely collected from sampling
points throughout the city. Over 85,000 tests are
performed on our water annually. Bloomington's
water consistently meets or exceeds all of the
criteria established by federal and state
regulations and guidelines.
