I'd like to take a moment to thank Benton water customers for their patience, cooperation and conservation during the last 48 hours. Thanks to everyone working together, no one in the City spent a second without water.
As of 1:30 p.m., our water storage is back to 3/4 capacity, and we'll reach full capacity within a few hours. We're still asking you to please boil your water until further notice. When the water is safe for consumption again, we will be sure to make the announcement on our website, across social media, WQRL, local newspapers and Channel 3 News.
Again, I'd like to thank Benton residents for your patience and water conservation during this situation. I'd also like to thank RLCD for getting the problem fixed in a remarkable amount of time.
Sincerely,
Craig Miles
Benton Water & Sewer Superintendent ... See more
