​Singota Solutions marks a significant milestone in 2026, commemorating 20 years of serving the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Since opening in 2006, the company has expanded its capabilities and infrastructure to become a full-service contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), delivering end-to-end support across product development, clinical manufacturing, and commercial supply.

 "As Singota Solutions celebrates its twentieth year in operation, we are grateful to the many people who have helped us along the way,” said Alisa Kilgas, Founder and CEO of Singota Solutions. “In 2006, we started providing product development and supply chain management services and grew into a fully integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) that provides support from early development, through clinical phases, and onto commercial supply.”

Over the past two decades, Singota Solutions has expanded its service offerings, its physical capacity and footprint, and our team's experience.  As we enter our third decade, our approach and goal remain the same.  To be a trustworthy partner to our clients and partners and to continue to focus on developing new drug products to improve the health and lives of people around the world.  Our team continues to share core values including respecting the complex endeavors of each of our clients and working collaboratively with them to deliver valuable services with quality, speed, agility, reliability and accountability.

The City of Bloomington Utilities has published its 2026 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report, also known as the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), providing customers with information about local drinking water quality and data from tests conducted during 2025. The annual report is required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act and is intended to help customers better understand the quality, sources, and treatment of their drinking water.
​
Bloomington’s drinking water met all federal standards for safe drinking water in 2025. The report details any regulated contaminants detected in Bloomington's drinking water during 2025, including disinfectant by-products (DBPs) and total organic carbon. Nearly 80 additional potential contaminants were tested for and not detected, and are therefore not listed in the report. 

Because this report contains water quality data collected during 2025, it does not reflect the restoration of fluoridation that occurred in January 2026. Future fluoride monitoring results will be included in subsequent annual drinking water quality reports.

In addition to the annual report, the City provides data about drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater through its Open Data Portal. For drinking water, datasets include current and historical information about lead and copper, organic matter, and disinfection byproducts. The data portal also includes information from the EPA’s Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) program, which found no detectable PFAS, commonly referred to as “forever chemicals,” in Bloomington’s drinking water. 

For questions about the annual drinking water quality report or to request a paper copy, contact CBU’s Water Quality program at [email protected] or 812-349-3655.

Opening this Friday, July 3, are two new shows at the Waldron Art Center. In the Spotlight Gallery, artist M. Griffin takes viewers through abstractions rooted in their own coming of age, experience of living in Bloomington, and the existential journey that is finding yourself a place in the world. Griffin’s deeply rich color choices, along with their use of found materials, create a rich landscape for meditation on that distinct period of life that is your early 20s.

In the Rosemary P. Miller and Educational Galleries, participating artists from both the 2025 and 2026 Mini Midwest Print Fest and Big Steamroller Show bring their work for an educational and uplifting show. The large prints feature distinctive styles and varied messaging, creating a rich viewing experience. On display will be photos from the events, advertising materials made for the events by local printmakers, carved block, and, of course, the prints themselves!

The evening will include music from DJ Bryce Martin. Join us this Friday, July 3, from 5-8pm, for a cool down from this blazing hot weather!
