The long-term trend of increasing water use is the result of city expansion and the higher number of connections that have resulted. In 1960, a few hundred customers were served by public wells with limited capacity. As the transmission and distribution piping was extended, these wells were replaced by higher quality treated water. Today, about 25,000 properties are connected to the water and the sewer systems. While the Mall of America is the biggest single water user, it accounts for only about four percent of the total annual water use in the Bloomington system.
