**IMPORTANT: The boil water alert has been lifted for those still on the well system**

 

We recently had an issue involving water coming up through Devonshire near Marlborough. Unfortunately this is a result of too few houses pulling water from the wells. We expect these types of issues to continue to happen until we are able to completely shut down the wells. Once the last person is hooked up we will be able to do that, but please do understand that the longer it takes for everyone to hook up the more money we will spend on our failing system.

​

**Wells are due to shut down  by October 1st. If you have not contacted a plumber to hook you up to the Township water system you need to immediately to avoid an interruption in water services.**

 

​Lawn Care

 Seed from the straw covering the new growth is beginning to sprout. Residents need to start mowing these areas and it will kill those seeds and allow the grass to take over.

​

Financial Assistance

​

    Bloomfield Township residents can now apply for the Special Assessment Deferment Program (SADP). This new initiative is designed to help qualifying homeowners by deferring their annual water/sewer or road special assessment.  This program does not waive or forgive the assessments, but delays their payments until they are in a better financial situation; or certain conditions trigger payment such as refinancing or selling the home.  Deferments can be made for up to ten years and the Township will place a lien on your property to ensure repayment of the deferred amounts.

​

To learn more about the program and find an application, visit www.bloomfieldtwp.org/sadp, contact the Assessing Department at (248) 433-7710, or email assessor@bloomfieldtwp.org. Applications must be submitted by June 30, 2025 and must include a current tax return, a personal financial statement, and three months of bank statements from all of your accounts.  Additional documentation may be required.

Applicants will be notified by September 15, 2025 and will have the option to appeal if not satisfied with the decision.
