The Town of Benson will be temporarily changing its potable water supply in late October to early November 2023 for water tower repairs and maintenance to be completed. The change will remain in effect for approximately 12 to 16 weeks.
Most customers normally supplied by the town’s South Highway 301 Entry Point will be supplied by the town’s North Highway 301 Entry Point during the change. No change of water disinfectant will occur during this time — the water supply will continue to utilize chloramine disinfection.
Widespread water quality issues are not anticipated however some isolated water discoloration or pressure fluctuations may occur. Town staff will continue routine water distribution system sampling, monitoring, and regularly scheduled water system flushing during this time.
The water supply will change back to the South Highway 301 Entry Point after water tower maintenance is completed.
