SAD Project Information
​​
​​Project Update 6/9/25: Pamar’s restoration crew has finished the lawn restoration for most gravel road areas and will be continuing work. The asphalt company plans to be back on-site next week starting on Monday 6/9 to finish the asphalt work. Asphalt repairs will be completed on Traymore and Devonshire and then moving to Marlborough and Mulberry. All homes are now ready for connection and have been given door-hanger notifications and sent letters.

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.

​
Plumber Information: Residents will need to have their plumber apply for a Plumbing Permit in the Planning, Building & Ordinance Department to make the connection from their home to the new stop box location with a new or existing water service line and to install a new water meter. Residents electing to install a second water meter will require an additional permit. No permit fees will be required with these permits. If electing to use the existing water service line, an Existing Water Service Line Verification Form is required to be signed by the licensed Plumber and submitted with the Plumbing Permit. See the updated Plumbers list as of April 2025 below!
