Over the next 6-8 weeks, the Benton Utilities Water Distribution Department crews will be working in the area of North Lakeview, Donald Circle and Eldonwood (map below).
They are replacing the existing 2-inch galvanized water main with a new 6-inch PVC main along with new service lines to the meters. All of the work will be in front of the houses in the street and street right of way. Services will only be unavailable while crews are reconnecting new service lines to the new main. That part of the work should take less than 30 minutes.
The main upgrade and service replacements will increase flow to the area as well as replace a deteriorating line that requires repairs often. They will also be adding two new fire hydrants for better fire protection.
